Hello!I've bought TuneCab last month to convert my music library to mp3 and I completely satisfied with conversion speed (to 50x) and quality of converted files. Also I've converted some protected iTunes videos to DivX and didn't have any troubles. Soft is easy to use with clear interface, I liked it.

I have a different DRM problem. I downloaded some files from the public library system in wma format. I'd rather listen to them on my iPod because of a feature that allows me to turn back a few "pages" instead of chapters of the book I'm listening to. BUt, the files have a DRM in them. So, will any of the programs listed convert from wma to aac?

I've tried a few free programs without success: DRMremoval and some others that don't do DRM removal.

EDITOR'S NOTE: There are several DRM removal programs listed in the article that will handle WMA files.

If you burn the songs onto an audio CD and then re-rip into MP3, is there any loss of sound quality?

EDITOR'S NOTE: Yes, MP3 is a "lossy" format. Using a higher bit rate will help, though.

I tried most of these programs, and only 2 will install on Vista x64, ShareDRMusic and TuneBite, and only TuneBite will actually launch and do something. ShareDRMusic tells me I need to reinstall it everytime I launch it. All the rest either tell me they need an x86(32-bit) OS or are not Vista compatible. TuneBite does seem to do what it says it will do. About the only option for us Vista 64-bit users.

Will using a program such as NoteBurner to remove DRM from an itunes file also strip the album cover information that ipods use for cover flow?

EDITOR'S NOTE: I suspect the coverflow info is part of the AAC file format. So I'd say yes, converting to MP3 would remove it. Can anyone confirm?

I bought RS Audials One or the Tunebite package but cannot get it to work it's really slow and can only operate one program at a time is their anything on the market that works I really do not care about the price I just want something that is easy to use and will deliver.

I am looking for DRM converter software that will work with Vista 64 bit. Which one?

EDITOR'S NOTE: I'm sure Vista 64-bit edition will still run most (all?) 32-bit software...

Daniusoft Media Converter Pro which can remove Windows DRM (WMV, WMA) and iTunes DRM (M4V, M4P, AAC). And what's more, it's also a ordinary media converter for most of the audio and video formats. Here are more details about it -- http://www.daniusoft.com/digital-media-converter-pro.html

I've found a way to by pass it in linux very easy..

All you need it VLC:

vlc -vvv "$a" --sout "#transcode{acodec=mpga,ab=256,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=raw,dst=\"$dest\"}}" vlc:quit > /dev/null

where you replace $a with the encoded file and $dest with the the destination file...

That's how I've bypassed mine M4P and M4A files from iTunes. but I've to say that I didn't test it on windows.. on windows I used doubledesktop, or something like that :)

Anyway, try it out :)

Works in Ubuntu 8.04

Excellent idea Martijn. It also seems to work OK for for DRM'd WMA files too. Tested on Ubuntu 7.10 & 8.04. And it's fast! One of these days I must turn it into a shell script so I can do multiple files at once. Thanks. Best wishes, Mr G.

After having tested all these software tools, I find NoteBurner ( http://www.noteburner.com ) is the fastest in terms of the conversion speed. And it has both WinXP/Vista and Mac versions. Worth a try.

This site collect many drm removal tools for windows and Mac os: http://www.free-drm-removal.com

EDITOR'S NOTE: It lists FIVE tools, only one of which is free. The other four are affiliate links to purchase the DRM removal software. Nothing terribly wrong with that, just FYI...

Thank you! I've tried several of these program. Some of these are good. Finally I select NoteBurner for I prefer the good output quality and most supportable formats it has. I have a Windows XP and a MAC computer. And this software gets both of these versions.

Others are also good like Audacity and Notecable etc. but miss some features I want.

Thanks again for your recommendation.
