Re: WMA protection

Regarding Tunebite, if it involves your soundcard then it is not digital.  To play and record the track using the soundcard means a conversion from digital to analogue during playback, and analoge to digital during recording, so the sound quality depends on the quality and SN ratio of the soundcard.
 
Burning to Audio CD and then ripping is one way around it.  I'm not sure which software can burn the DRM WMA's to CD, but apparently this is legal and common.
 
Another method is to use VAC -- Virtual Audio Cable.  This allows pure digital recording of any audio played by any player.  It is a virtual soundcard driver which appears as an output and input  sound device with it's own mixer volume controls etc.  You simply tell WMP to output to this device rather than the actual soundcard.  Then record from the recording mixer of the virtual sound device, and it creates a pure digital copy, and doesn't use your soundcard at all.  Unfortunately it costs US$43.
 
Regards,
Ross.

Subject: RE: [LPFM] WMA protection

I have had no success at all with the protection on wma files from coke tunes (and similar).  Sometimes it even crashes my radio pc looking for some sort of ‘authorisation’ for me to play the music I purchased legitimately.  As this was on the same pc I downloaded the music onto I couldn’t see why I needed authorization each time to play the track.  I tried everything including unanswered emails to coke tunes and MS before giving up and looking for another way to play the music I purchased.

 

Until they sort their sh** out, I am using Tunebite to convert the DRM track to a format which works.  Tunebite recreates the song by playing and re-recording the track digitally using media player and your soundcard.  It has worked great for me and well worth the shareware price if you are doing the right thing and paying for your music downloads and want to be able to actually listen to them.

Hi,

 

Anyone know anyway of removing DRM protection.

Heres the sit

 

Bunch of cds (loads) copied with protection using WMP to a pc.

Person buys new pc, cuts and pastes songs to a new pc

New pc won’t play songs due to license.

 

Anyway to say ‘copy the original’ license from the old desktop to the new pc?

 

Regards,

Jesse

Good catch, Ross. I'd been looking for something to record VOIP calls recently and hadn't found a decent solution that didn't involve a second machine. That's...
