This guide will show you how to convert DRM WMA to usable MP3 with DRM converter software (http://www.wmatomp3-converter.com/wma-mp3-converter.html), then you can enjoy playing DRM WMA on different portable media players, such as iPod, Zune, Creative Zen, MP3 player, PSP.

DRM is an acronym for Digital Rights Management, a broad term used to describe a number of techniques for restricting the free use and transfer of digital content. DRM is used in a number of media, but is most commonly found in video and music files. There are many who argue that DRM is a misnomer, since it deals with use issues rather than the rights of the consumer.

If you want to share your DRM music and video with friends or put them on MP3 players, you may go to find some software which could convert DRM WMA to MP3 .


Part One Convert DRM WMA to MP3 for Windows

1 Run Daniusoft WMA MP3 Converter (http://www.wmatomp3-converter.com/wma-mp3-converter.html), click on “Load File” to add DRM WMA or M4A, M4B, AAC, WMV, M4P, M4V, ASF file.

Then you can simply:
select some songs in iTunes
click on the "Process songs" button
then don't touch anything and wait until it's done...(FairGame is scripting iMovie's interface to process the songs, don’t interfere)
FairGame is available for MacOSX only.

This is pretty cool. My only questions are these. Are you getting any quality loss with this method and what is the file size difference between the original WMA and the new MP3?

MP3 is smaller than wma in size, so it saves the disk space, and there will be little quality loss, but it is not audible.

I have converted Gigs of music using Tunebite and the great feature on that software is that you can convert 5 or 6 songs at a time and it processes them at a higher speed than playback. It will take me about five minutes to process a whole album from protected wma to unprotected mp3. Check it out.

I don't mean to crap on the thread, but this is a waste of time.

get FairUse4WM and you'll drm the music without any reencoding being required (and if you have a machine where it wont run due to a bad version of Windows Media Player, just create a VM with a copy of windows installed in it and keep that for un'drm'ing music)

It be one thing if you wanted to take your DRM WMA music to an ipod, but as this is a windows mobile device, seems sort of pointless.

Could anyone suggest a free online store that I can download music without limitation. I don't mind if it's DRMed.

Have u by any chance tried the latest version of Tunebite (http://audials.com/en/audio_video_media_center/index.html)?I read on the web that it has some interesting improvements, like recording speeds up to 54x and functions for downloading videos from youtube and other such portals.
