I use MP4-Converter: http://mp4-converter.info/
MP4-Converter is the next generation easy-to-use software that converts just about any video and audio file that can be played on your computer.
Extremely fast conversion speed and simple user interface.

The story shows how to unprotect drm from protected wmv, wma, m4p, m4v, m4a, aac files and convert to unprotected WMV, MP4, MP3, WMA or any video and audio formats you like, such as AVI, MPEG, MOV, 3GP, m4a, aac, wmv, ogg, wav…
It’s easy and a must do operation, folks!

Point 1: I’ve purchased and downloaded some wmv videos, which is drm protected – so I cant copy them to MP3 player and my wifes htc diamond OR ANY DEVICES? I was shocked!!! #%#$%!!
WHY this happens?
So found a way – drmbuster – it converts my wmv (and avi actually) directly to my iPod.
found another software:drmremoval – seems to works slowly, but perhaps I miss smth.

Point second:
Can’t copy to my iPhone avi from my hard disk! I own that avi (movie maker production :) ) and I own the iPhone! So what&!. I can’t – I get a message: “cannot be imported because it does not appear to be a valid exported file”… ###ing limitation.
I was amazed, but drmbuster did this job for me too. It even recompressed video to iphone screen size – so I don’t have to copy all 900mbytes to devices. Just 200!!

The program is capable to convert any format I had on my hard drive – I even dragged there my while entertainment hard drive (I use different ones for windows and entertainment, to not loose valuable video), and it reconverted everithing, that looks like a video or sound.
fortunately, I hadn’t iphone conneted, otherwise it may be fully fill its memory!
Really, extremely easy to use piece of software – napster converter, itunes converter.

I am a big fun of skins and skinned software! I contacted their support, and was given an answer – If you gather some more users who desires this – we will implement for you!
What do you think juys, let’s ask them?
Please….

I’ve been looking for a program like TuneCab for over a year. I have Rhapsody and I can only play the songs on my PC. When I want to create a CD, I use Roxio to copy the live stream to MP3. Works great, but it requires a little setup each time (to adjust the volume levels). I’ve googled for a Rhapsody ripper and never found anything. But now I downloaded TuneCab and it’s awesome. I’m converting my first ten CDs right now and it’s cranking through them. It takes about a minute per song to convert. Once these are done, I plan on burning my entire Rhapsody library with TuneCab over the weekend. It rocks!

I think you people are all missing the point. The main point everyone should be wondering about is for one, are we gonna let the music industry now dictate to us on what musial devices we can play our music on.

I stopped buying from there as well. Also, went to emusic.com as olivier stated, they have a limited catalog. But, no DRM and no hassles when trying to share your music within your house on a network of CPUs and consoles—or anywhere else for that matter. Plus they have allot rare/indie stuff that itunes doesn’t. I’m still a collector of CDs as well because I want the best of both worlds. I like to have my music in a holdable selection—not just digital. So I rock both in a no DRM zone.

Glad to see others who’ve seen what I see.
Cheers!

If you have a cd-rw handy, DRM dumpster seems to automate the process of burning an audio CD of the DRM files, re-importing the files, and then erasing the cd-rw for you. I’ve been using it for a few weeks with great success. And its free..

The inconvenience of DRMed music from iTMS is much smaller than the inconvenience of buying digital music elsewhere, so I seriously doubt a boycott could be successful. Especially since most people don’t understand what DRM is and why it’s a problem. If there’s going to be a change, it will come from the top. Most likely it will be pushback from the consumer electronics industry (like Steve Jobs’s letter) looking to make it easier to sell multiple devices to the same household.

And besides that, DRM just isn’t a human rights issue. At most, it’s an issue of consumer inconvenience, and if an individual consumer doesn’t feel inconvenienced, it’s going to be hard to get them to care. A user with iTunes, an iPod nano, and internet access will rarely notice Fairplay, if ever.

CDs are not only cheaper than buying from the iTMS, they are lossless, and DRM-free. If Apple offered 192Kbps files, then I might buy some singles, otherwise forget it.
