just my 2 cents...

Some .wma files are offered for free downlod but will time out after a while. Some require a license to prove you bought it.

If you have a problem you didn't buy it!

GO BUY IT!

Any solution to this problem will be used primaily for stealing from the artists.

I vote this topic closed.

Downloading a .wma for free and then circumventing the protection is the same as downloading the .mp3 from a peer to peer.

thanks

p.s. I have a couple of friends in a platinum selling band. They are not rich. Let's keep the bands making music. Support them.

I agree. Pirate the music and then send the band themselves a check directly. They'll get way more cash than they would if you went through the record label, who nickel-and-dime the bands to death.

I know this is an old topic, but I have been doing a lot of searching today because I BOUGHT a cd that I want to play on my ipod. I can't do this because of the 'copy protection' . I paid full price for this cd, and I would NEVER rip music that friends offer me, or download it from p2p networks... I am really offended by your implication that the only reason to oppose DRM is because you want to steal music.

Grab a freeware copy of Alcohol 52% and the free mp3 plugin, and rip your protected cd directly to unprotected mp3 files.

Audio Plugin can be downloaded from http://www.free-downloads.net/programs/Alc...Audio_Converter
Once installed select Device>Audio Converter

Since you own the cd, it's not illegal to make a backup for personal use.
