Am I being ignored over here ? No ofence As I said before, you can convert DRM protected WMA files to .mp3 with this software I found. Take a look at it: www.tunebite.com Download it, let it run in the background and play your protected file with Windows Media Player, and it will convert the wma in the desired format and bitrate

Uhhmm...what do u mean by that ? Gee, maybe you are right, I didn't try this method, but it's easier for me to get a software, for 15$, that spares me from burning DVD's an riping them again with Cdex or any other program. With Tunebite, I simply load all the songs that I want to convert and let them play, then I go to work or to sleep and then they will be done. IMHO this way is easier

Hmm...One could use this method, but when you have lots of songs it's "a bit" time consuming If you have just a few songs then your method is worth using.

Where can I find this version of Winamp ? I read something about a plug-in from them, but this stopped working after some patch with DRM 9 or 10...don't remember exactly

I found something about a tool that re-records the output of the soundcard, and if you use this for personal use it's legal. Take a look at it www.tunebite.com

Hello George, I don't think that you have an alternative then to pay for your music if you want to burn it on a CD. As far as I know Napster charges 0.99 $ per track so it is not that much Anyway I'll try a search on some specific forums to see if there is a "legal" tool
