Possible to convert DRM protected WMA files to mp3?

I've been attempting to find a relatively simple way of converting DRM-protected WMA files to mp3 using my Mac and can't seem to find anything. Surely somebody must have figured this out by now. I can convert non-DRM WMA files to mp3 using EasyWMA, but this does not work for WMA files with DRM protection.
I want to purchase songs from the 7digital store that are in the WMA format and have DRM protection, convert them to MP3 on my iMac, and then import them into iTunes. Seems like it shouldn't be that hard.
Any suggestions?

iTunes Windows will convert non-DRM tunes into .mp3. If you have iTS purchases that have DRM you can burn them to an audio format CD as AIFF file format.
Check the terms of use and see what your options are for converting them to another format. With iTunes the path is to burn an audio CD. See if that is possible with the wma DRM.
Likely in your case you are trying to crack DRM outside the original terms of use when you purchased the tunes.

Converting MIDI and WMA files

On another computer with an older version of iTunes, I was able to convert MIDI and WMA files to other formats including AAC and MP3. But on my own computer which has the latest version of iTunes, it can't convert the formats anymore. I can an "unknown error (-50)" message. What is wrong?

move that value to a type WRBTR variable

v_wrbtr = 1000.
write v_wrbtr to v_char.

Converting protected (DRM) WMA files

alright: so i got a song online from the [Ballyhoo Music Store|http://www.ballyhoomusic.com/P-1999999339/C-1999998609/eChannel.isl], but the only format it was available in was a protected (DRM) WMA file. i didn't read that it wasn't compatible with iTunes until afterword, so after i downloaded it i tried to import it into iTunes. however, iTunes said that the file needed to be converted to AAC. but, since it's a protected WMA file, iTunes couldn't convert it. Is there a way for me to get iTunes to be able to convert this???
also, while searching online, i found [this method|http://uk.geocities.com/thetomcatslair/Entertainment/DRM/drm.html] to removing the DRM from a WMA file, which, although lengthy, is supposed to help preserve much of the audio quality. however, this method requires Windows Media Player 9, and i have Window Media Player 11. I was able to uninstall WMP 11, but that just took me back to WMP 10. from there, i couldn't figure out how to uninstall WMP 10 to get to WMP 9 - WMP 10 didn't appear in the "add/remove programs" list - even when i chose to "show updates." so, as another part of this post, is there a way for me to get back to WMP 9???
thanks in advance!!!

It is against the forum term of use to discuss evading DRM
http://discussions.apple.com/help.jspa#terms
However terms of use of your protected track may allow you to burn it onto and audio CD in WMP - which you could then use as you would any audio CD.

Convert timestamp from text file (hh:mm:ss) into seconds

How can I import a column of time stamps from a text file of the form hh:mm:ss and convert it into seconds using LabView? For example, 13:30:30 into 48630.
Also, using the "Read from Spreadsheet File VI" I can't seem to get the entire time stamp imported correctly. Only the value before the colon is read. For example, if the timestamp reads 13:30:30, only 13 is inputed into the array in LabView.
FYI I'm using LabView 7. Thanks!

Here's a LV 7 example. Just a Scan From String, a couple of Multiply functions and add the results. As far as your Read From Spreadsheet issue, by default, the function creates an array of SGLs. 13:30:30 is text and the functions needs to be modified to return an array of strings. There are instructions on the diagram on how to do this. When you've made the changes, save it as a new name and in a new location.

Convert error from 2003 word and excel to pdf.

Have Acrobat 8 Pro with vista business. Can no longer convert 2003 word or excel files to pdf format. Get a convert error, please corect problem. Other file formats work file. Am current on updates. Any ideas?

So what you are saying
On the server we have to install LiveCycle and MS Office. LiveCycle will have some API exposed that will take Word or Excel as inut parameter. Then LiveCycle will use MS Office internally to convert the office document into PDF.
Do you happen to know the memory footprints this procees will have?
Also how much does LiveCycle cost?

Printing user validation errors from .php file back onto a form

Hey all. I have written a simple contact form with the extention .php. It includes the php validation and the form inputs on one page. If the input does not validate, a warning in red is printed at the top of the form after the user pushes submit. When I cut and paste the php validation code into a seperate file, the validation errors print on a blank screen. What I want is to have the same results with a seperate php file as I do when I include the php code on the form. (print errors from the seperate php validation file back onto the form). Thanks for taking a look

You want the form to submit its results to a separate file which processes the data. If this separate file finds errors, you want it to return control to the form page which would a) display the error messages, and b) populate the fields with the data entered?
If that's the case, then the processing file would have to send the errors and the data back to the form page either as a) URL variables, b) a cookie, or c) entries in a database.
Does that help?

Any .trm file players for mac -- or a way to convert them to wma files

I have some .trm files that I need to play, but right now they are only working in my windows partition. I'd like to know if there are any .trm file players for OS X or any software that can convert these trm files to an mp3 or wma file that will play on the mac partiton. I use a free program called express scribe to listen to recordings on my mac, but it won't play .trm files, and I'd like to continue to ues the mac partition instead of having to use Windows, which I hate with a passion. Can anyone help me?
I'm using Snow Leopard as well.

Okay, there are a few ways to do this using older versions of ForTheRecord's player software. Probably the most direct is (if you the ability to run Windows or to access a machine running Windows), download and install the older version 5.4.2 (the file is named Player542setup.exe) at http://community.fortherecord.com/index.php?/files/file/725-therecord-player-542 -old-version-player542setupexe
Once you install this player, you should be able to play your trm file. When you click on the "Save a Copy to" button (just to the left of the rewind button on the player, it will bring up a small window with options that include "Save format" and you can select "Windows Media" which will save the file to .wma format. This might be enough for you. I however, prefer working with mp3 files and then take the wma file and convet it using All2MP3.
I wish you luck. This company is not only Mac hostile, but they appear to be desperately clinging to an older business model that rewards tricks and gimmicks and fake excuses to keep their "propriatry" and inferrior software limitations - so that they can hold clients hostage. Anyway....
I too have not come across this in some time. I run a small business administering law firms and a staff of paralegals and we all generally use Macs and have virtually no problem with any service these days. Whether it is our large prominent client or our small sole practitioner - Macs have been our choice - and this headache with trm files is a rareity. Thankfull, the software the Court's normally use allows a straight to mp3 conversion, unlike this second intermediate step we have to take with your files.
Good luck.

LP9 converting objects from LP9 files ?

I have several Logic Pro 9 files from about 3 months ago. But when I go to open them with LP9, it reports it is converting audio and buss objects, and if allowed to do so, completely loses all mixer/plugin settings (only arrange window is left intact). All those plugins are still available on the machine; the audio driver has not changed. In fact I cannot think of anything that has changed on the machine.
I am still running the same version of Logic 9 (9.1.6) and the same OS version (10.6.8) on the machine today. I have been running Logic fine since then on newer projects on the machine as well.   When I do get info on any of these 3 month old projects, the resource info says to use Logic Pro App 9.1.6.
Now I recall when converting older projects to LP9, you would get this converting audio/buss objects as a message if you tried to import the file instead of just opening it. I don't see how that is relevant here.   I cannot fathom why LP9 would think it has any object conversion to do at all from existing LP9 projects, but I am happy to hear any suggestions.

I haven't see anything that says to only use UTC if you need ProTools compatibility (which also seems at odds with making UTC the default), i.e., from
http://documentation.apple.com/en/logicpro/usermanual/index.html#chapter=44%26se ction=4%26tasks=true
Universal Track Mode checkbox: Universal Track Mode is turned on by default. It allows you to play back stereo and mono regions on a single track. It should be left on.
You should only turn off Universal Track Mode if using DAE or TDM hardware. For more information, see the Logic Pro TDM Guide.
The Logic projects in question all have stereo/interleaved files, and use about 10 stereo busses with plugins loaded on them; there are maybe 8 or 10 mono busses that are not used for anything.   WIth UTC on, Logic opens the files, converts the busses, and loses every single plugin on the stereo busses. I've filed this as a bug with ADC.
BTW - there are many threads complaining about this behaviour, apparently inluding that turning off UTC does not always fix the conversion problems. Other reports complain that working around this with "Selective Track Import" is not a viable alternative.

Help needed in converting Excel from XML file

Hi Can anyone help me in converting XML in to Excel.
Thanx,
Ananth.

well, that still isn't much to go off of. I give it a try though.
I guess you want to parse out the relevent data out of the xml file and then decide on your favorite delimated file format for Excel. Two popular formats are comma delimated:
"info1","info2","info3","info4"
and tab delimeted:
info <tab> info2 <tab> info3 <tab> info4
Excel should be able to unsestand either of these formats.

Hypertext Link Modify By acrobat during convertion process from MsWord file

Hello,
i add some web hyperlink in my word using an internal URL protocol "mylink:".
In MsWord my link ("mylink://051245751212;tot@server") works perfectly.
But when I make a pdf creation, this Web link was transform in file link and some stuff are adding before.
for example my file MsWord files was store in "d:\temp\in" the result of the transformation of my link was "D\temp\in\mylink://051245751212;tot@server" and the type of the link is no longuer a web link (URL) but file link (GOTOR).
If in my MsWord i placed a web link like "http://www.adobe.com" the transformation is OK. Why my internal protocol doesn't have the same traitement? How i can do for Acrobat keep the details of my link like in the MsWord (Type :URL, URL:mylink:...)?
I'am using Acrobat 7.1 Pro.
Can you help me?

thanks for your answer, but When i create the same link using advanced modifying tools in acrobat (directly in my pdf), my link works but i have a dialog box with an advertising.
So i updated the following register key to remove this dialog and it's OK :
HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\7.0\FeatureLockDown\cDefaultLaunchURLPerms"
My internal protocol was recorded in the windows register like the "http" protocol.
So Acrobat reknownize my internal protocol like URL protocol using the windows register and this key for the permission to execute the link but not when i try to convert my file?
http protocol seems be a Hard coding. I hope it's not the case and it possible to manage this by another way.
My protocol was recording like URL protocol. So i thought that Acrobat using the register to see if he must modify the link.
Like i could changed the permission on my internal protocol, can i force Acrobat to convert my internal protocol like web link?
Can i doing this by acrobat plugin?

GetClass().getResource() error from jar file.

I am using getClass().getResource("../images/image.gif") to refer to a resource and load it into the ImageIcon. So that my resource's url is dynamic and be got at runtime. It is working fine when I run my program, but when I exported my application into a jar file then while trying to execute the jar file using the
