I wasn't sure which newsgroup to post this to. I hope you guys don't mind if I ask here. I've downloaded a couple of protected wma formatted songs. I'd like to convert a copy to mp3. Is there a good free/shareware program for this? I'm looking at a program called MP3 CD Converter. Any opinions about it or another program?If you have lots of CDRs so you can waste a CDR as they are pretty cheap and a CD Burner. The easiest way is to burn the mp3s to a CD as an Audio CD and than rip it to mp3 using a program like CDex which is free,
thanks,

Note that you will lose quality in doing this (encoding anything to MP3), and WMA -- at least the version sold by most online music stores -- is already a lossy format. Also don't bother re-encoding to a higher bitrate as it's impossible to regain anything that's been lossed and you will only end up with a worse copy. If the track was an AAC (like those bought from iTunes), there's a way to strip the DRM without reencoding it (again, google up hymn) or even download an unencrypted version in the first place (pyMusique -- now only works in Linux).
yep .
