Q? for Matt72 (or anyone else with 1st hand insight)
I have many files (wma/drm)backed up onto cd's as data discs. you mentioned to extract the cd. i can do my movies all day long, but i'm just begining to play with music . . .
i can play my wma/drm files off my hard drive (up to 3 computers). i can't convert, copy or synch to portables (prohibited by lic.)
how is it that you "extract" from cd????
have musicmatch 10, wmp10, xp pro, roxio 7.5, nero 6.3?, unfuck (can't figure out - says no codecs installed - whatever that means) and FreeMe (don't want to fuck up my comp. with command line)
anything here useful?
p.s. i'm lookiing for an alternative to recording at real time . . . damn that would take forever! (source: Adelphia Music)

well, I will not tell you how to break the law because that is illegal. However, sticking to the precedent of the U.S. Supreme Court "betamax case," I will tell you how to back-up your legally owned DRM WMA files.

Save your DRM file onto a CD as an AUDIO CD, not as a data CD or as a HighMat CD. When you save it as an audio CD, the DRM is erased, and thus your license! You can then use this CD anywhere CD's are read and not worry about being DRM compliant. You can even re-copy it back on to your computer as unprotected files.
