    OK...Converting wma to MP3...how do I do it???

    Sorry to be so blunt about it but how do I convert COPY Protected wma's to mp3 (or anything else, for that matter)? DBPowerAmp won't do it and I'm searching Google right now.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    KNOWLEDGE is POWER and you all...y'all got the POWER!!! :gj

    Thanks !!!!

    Can you burn them to cd? Just burn them and rip them back to whatever format you want.

    Do you have the codecs you need with dbpoweramp? I'm honestly not sure about the ones with protection though....

    This site looks like it should work.

    Hope you don't care about the quality, transcoding like that normally makes really low quality files.

    db PowerAmp doesn't have any codecs for converting protected wma's. Lotsa stuff on a Google seach CLAIMS to...I'm still searching, though.

    can't you just downoad a clean mp3 copy from somewhere?
    People standin on top of the white house, there's people standin up on capital hill...
    They stand up there, sound like they know something...
    They all still wake up in the morning, drink a cup of coffee and take a shit, they aint better than I am.
    And they dance around a problem... say this... talk about the eco-nomic imp-li-cations...

    But their grandfather, great great grandfather, was just like my great great grandfather, just a bunch of monkeys swingin up in trees shittin in the woods.

    I have to throw them in Window Media 10 (YUCK) to play, then this bs comes up about purchasing the music (for the license). It states that each song has 3 more times to play before, I guess, they dis-intergrate (like in Mission Impossible-the old tv show with Peter Graves).)
    I'm still Googling...

    CRLocky, I could...but I'd just like to know what to do if I should happen to run across this type of situation again. If there's a solution, I'd like to know it.

    I've only had a problem ONCE ripping cds with this program:
    http://www.mgshareware.com/frmmain.shtml

    Then again, maybe I've been lucky and haven't ran across any GOOD copyright protection...

    There's some type of copyright protection I ran across on a cd once not too long ago that kept me from ripping it... the solution to it was, lol, to take a Sharpie and mark all around the outside edge of the cd... it worked suprisingly. I don't remember what kind of copyright protection it was though. If I remember correctly it was a Missy Elliot cd.

    Do you have a sound card that would allow you to record what you are hearing. If you do then all you need to do is to open up Media Player and some kind of audio record like Cool Edit or Sound Forge and record it. If this doesn't work then hook the audio output of one computer to the line-in of another computer and record it that way.
