I downloaded some songs and windows media player won't read because I don't have the licence or I can't even make a CD with these files, I use Nero, any program that will burn a CD with these protected songs? in advance...thanks for your help guys!
Same problem here, I read that some people use a program called FreeMe but I dont understand how to make it work. Let me know if anyone has better luck.
Tunebite sucks. Here is the real solution. I will not tell you how to break the law because that is illegal. However, sticking to the precedent of the U.S. Supreme Court "betamax case," I will tell you how to back-up your legally owned DRM WMA files. Save your DRM file onto a CD as an AUDIO CD, not as a data CD or as a HighMat CD. When you save it as an audio CD, the DRM is erased, and thus your license! You can then use this CD anywhere CD's are read and not worry about being DRM compliant. You can even re-copy it back on to your computer as unprotected files.
Yes, that works using Windows Media Player 9 Series and I am just trying out WMP 10. However, WMP wants a blank CD to copy the song onto. I am low volume, just importing a few songs into Movie Maker 2, putting together a birthday party CD for the family (legal, personal, non-commercial use). Thanks for the additional info about the DRM -- I thought it was copied to the CD and then eliminated when the CD was read/ripped back into the PC. Anyone have experience with this problem, of needing a new CD-R everytime I want to emiminate the DRM issue. Is there anyway I can get around this problem -- I just hate to be using a CD-R everytime I need a song for my movies (actually just still pictures with some sound). -- Ron in Round Rock
