Hi,
I buy music online, trouble is, it mostly comes in WMA format.
How do I convert it into MP3 format?
I tried a trial converter but it won't convert 'purchased music' because of 'drm'.

Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

I did that, and downloaded two different converters.
But they won't convert the wma files that I PURCHASED online.
All they will convert is music from my CD collection.

So if you buy it online it is in some way encoded so as not to be able to use it in other software?
That's rediculous (if true)

Most purchased music comes encoded. Tunes bought on itunes can not be played on any device apart from an ipod. So unfortunately unless you crack it somehow its pretty much usless

It appears to be true, but then I'm not a techno wizard so who knows.  Cry

And pretty much why I'd never pay to download music.

Well the way I look at it is that you have paid for your license so just download the mp3 version from e-mule/limewire etc and enjoy.

Do you have anything that can burn them to normal cd format, never tried it myself but I'm sure I remember someone telling me you could burn as normal cd and then re-rip them. If it's a lot of tunes it could take a while though. this ( http://www.zittware.com/Products/CDMaster32/Tutorials/CopyProtected_WMA_to_MP3.html ) would seem to be doing something similar. Failing that try googling 'convert protected wma to mp3' there seems to be a few things there that could help.

PS I would in no way suggesting that you download trial versions and then google for serial number or cracks, that would be wrong
