Title: WMA format is starting to piss me off!
Post by: Ripsnort on January 01, 2008, 10:18:10 AM

Can't do squat with it.  My sons downloaded a bunch of music for their PSP's and I failed to recognize about half the music was WMA format, which if you try to convert, it gives you the DRM riot act and won't convert to MP3. :mad: :mad:

Might be some free ones but this has been reported to work, can't verify that myself.

You need to see if whatever player you're using will let you burn the music to an old-style audio CD.  Then re-rip it yourself.

iTunes allows you to burn each purchased track a limited number of times, and it's the primary method of getting around Apple's DRM.  Burn it once, re-rip it once, and then archive the old DRM versions.

I use quintessential. Rips them fast and put the converted music into a folder of your choice.  Did it with all my CDs so all my music is mp3.

You'd think someone named Rip would be all over that.

Decoding, or encoding, or?
