Tunebite

will the demo work or do you need to purchase it?

4/1/2007 12:00:47 PM

i think the demo only allows you to convert one or two songs...not really sure, i never had that problem

4/1/2007 12:13:57 PM

any others?

I've never really tried it but I heard in itunes that you can just burn them to CDs and rip them back into your library. Get a CD-RW and try it out.

^ that works and is the simplest way to do it without installing a bunch of shit on your pc

4/1/2007 3:10:38 PM

well, here is the deal


i get free access to Napster

my gf uses Itunes - i can burn itunes off with no problem

Napster on the other hand will not allow you to do it with their MP3s

thats why im asking

1. they're not mp3s. they're wma files.
2. it's called DRM. Tunebite's the only thing that I've seen that reliably strips the DRM from the files.....



BUT


they're still wma files, which means they have shitty rates anyway


if you want un-drm'd good quality music, look elsewhere

By the way, Tunebite and most of the other "DRM-stripping" software packages out there aren't exactly 'removing" DRM...they are simply playing back the original protected audio file, and self-recording that stream of outgoing audio into a new file. So you are actually creating new files, not "cleaning" the originals. Still, it works well...tunebite is able to simultaneously copy 3-4 tracks, at accelerated speeds (2x or 3x, depending on CPU load)

because you ask questions from 1998

or you could quit trying to copy music illegally.

4/2/2007 10:34:25 PM

^ what if you simply don't want to use their media player?

e.g. songs purchased on itunes but you library is in wmplayer
