Anyone know of a way to convert the .wma to .mp3? I own the license and won't be sending this song to anyone else.
I am in a similar situation - I have boxes full of CDs that I have ripped to an external hard drive. Now I want to pull all of my music onto a dedicated computer or even an iPod to drive the sound system in my home, but because of the DRMs, only 1,450 of the 9,000 songs will play on either the new computer or the iPod.
This really annoys me, since I have paid for the CDs, and the application makers are just making my life difficult.
Any other suggestions aside from dodgy Russian retailers? Any one-stop apps that will extract the DRM from my music files and allow me to move them?
