June 23, 200521 yr HelloI have a problem. A few months ago I made an account at Napster. So far I got tons of music downloaded from them, but I can't listen to this music everywhere I want, only on my computer because of some DRM protection. I would like to know if I there is a tool or a posibility to bypass this license legally in order to be able to do what i want with that music. Thank you

Thank you<{POST_SNAPBACK}>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
June 28, 200521 yr 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
June 28, 200521 yr Try getting your hands on the "pulled" Winamp player. You can play your protected songs and "export" them to a .wav file. Re-encode the .wav file and the DRM rights are gone.

Re-encode the .wav file and the DRM rights are gone. <{POST_SNAPBACK}>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
June 29, 200521 yr Or try DBPowerAmp - as I recall it can record while playing back the file, you can then burn or transform or whatever the recorded .wav file ...
June 29, 200521 yr I'm sorry I don't know what the version of the particular WinAMP you should look for, but its probably available via http://www.oldversion.com/, and I bet quiet a few ppl here know which version you need.You can also try Audio Hijack Pro (Edit: Mac Only - sorry, just noticed)http://www.rogueamoeba.com/audiohijackpro/HTH,'nuff Edited June 29, 200521 yr by enuffsaid
June 30, 200521 yr Author Thanks for the tips guys.Btw. I tried dbpoweramp, and it doesn't convert the protected files. So far only Tunebite seems to work in bypassing the DRM protection
July 10, 200521 yr Wouldn't it be easier to use Nero to create an audio CD? But instead of recording to blank media, choose image recorder and save it as an .ISO.Then you can use Daemon Tools or Alcohol 120% to mount the image, use CDEx to RIP the audio back into MP3 and there will be no DRM.
July 11, 200521 yr What version of Winamp should i get... the list is from.... 0.20 - 5.08... so which one is the "PULLED" version?

The time consuming part will be burning a DVD image.Even better, if you have a Dual Layer DVD, it will pack 240 songs.
