I hope I'm allowed to ask this. Does anyone know of any free way to convert DRM protected files to mp3? There are 2 songs in particular that simply cannot be converted. I tried burning them to a CD, and it said they couldn't burned. I tried using soundtaxi, which I've used a lot in the past, and they still won't convert.  <_<

This is a borderline question. I'm not sure its legal to try and circumvent DRM protection. I'll wait 'till Stephen or some other knowing person confirms or denies this before making a final decision on whether or not to allow this question to remain.

It is legal to remove DRM... but only if that song will remain your property. In other words, removing DRM and sending it to your best buds is illegal, while removing it and burning it to a cd for yourself is perfectly okay.

I use a program (that I paid for), which works really well, called WMAConvert. It was $15, IIRC. :yes:

Well that certainly doesn't make the decision any easier. I guess I'll have to allow the question to remain since its a legal thing to do, and since I can't stop him from doing what he will with them. What I don't know won't hurt me I suppose.  :twothumbs: :sunglasses:

Hmmm, I'll try that program. Thanks Tyler! :happy:

Hmm I saw my friend's cable box and it;s the weirdest box i've ever seen. It weighs less than a pound and only has three free ouputs: {Audio}. {Video}, and {To Tv/VCR} (which i;m guessing where i'll connect my coaxial) :huh:

Does he have Comcast? If so, I think I've seen them before. We had one of those at my shore house.

I'm not quite familiar with these boxes as I've used more Scientific Atlanta ones. Are there any other ports on that box other than the ones you mentioned?
