Removing drm from tra

Can anybody please help I have a zen micro dri've usb 20 gig and have recently bought a zen vision m 30 gig which I am trying to transfer my collection to it transferred all mp3 songs but not wma protected songs can anybody help me transfer these songs thank you...Andrew

Hi Andrew,
If the tracks are MP3 files, then there is no protection on them, there is no protection for MP3 files so they can be transferred to your PC or another player.
If they are WMA files with DRM protection, then it is unfortunate that you turned that option on for your own tracks (that you ripped), but we can't allow discussion on how to (hypothetically) remove DRM protection as that includes bought tracks aswell, they include this protection on purpose.

  • Remove DRM from Independent Labels

    One way that Apple can show that it takes seriously the topics brought up in Steve Jobs's article, "Thoughts on Music", is to remove DRM from all material where the content producer did not specifically ask for it.
    There are many independent labels who wish their music to be as open as possible to a broader community. DRM gets between them and their customers.
    Please consider removing DRM from all content where the content producer did not request or require it.
    Thank you,
    Mike Shea

    It wont happen. Apple has DRM accross the board is to offer a consistant product. Lets face the facts that if 90% of all music is required DRM (shot in the dark) people who dont get the DRM thng (most customers) will be totaly lost if only a few songs have DRM and others dont. Apple stripping DRM from music that doesnt require them means very little to the Recording companies anyway.

  • Removing DRM from existing purchases

    Hi all,
    I love iTunes, but could never stand the DRM that came bundled with purchases. Now DRM's been removed from music I'm loving it again. I've made half a dozen purchases already today and I'm delighted with how easily my existing MP3 software was able to convert the M4A files to MP3.
    One question though, is there a way within iTunes to either re-download past purchases, or to remove DRM from purchases made before Apple stopped including DRM with music?
    Thanks.
    Lex.

    Access the iTunes plus upgrade screen from either the right hand top in the store in the upper box or by clicking on the iTunes plus advert in the middle of the store screen near the free download screen.
    If you have none of these links it may mean that none of your past purchases is currently available. The entire store will not be DRM free until near April, currently only close to 8 Million tracks are available, though I think new are still be added daily.

    I thought iTunes Match was supposed to remove DRM from files

    It doesn't actually  "remove" anything.  But it does allow you to delete the DRM versions and download non-DRM versions, if available.
    Go to this document, and read the section on "Can I upgrade my previously purchased music to iTunes Plus?":

  • Anyway to remove drm  from ibooks

    Is there anyway to remove the drm from books purchased from itunes?

    Legally, no. And illegal procedures cannot be discussed here per the ToU, so from any practical stance, the answer is still no.

  • NEW ADOBE ACCOUNT REMOVING DRM FROM ALL BOOKS

    I have had ADE and Sony Reader for PC for some years without any major problems. Recently I have been having some issues downloading a particular book - the acsm would not download the file from Google Play Books. In trying to fix this I seem to have created a far worse problem.
    One of the fixes suggested was to ensure my computer was properly authorised - but I was unsure of my password on my Adobe account linked to an old and defunct email.  Not knowing what else to do I created a new account with my current email address, big mistake.
    Adobe have now rather unhelpfully removed the DRM from all my legitmately pruchased books as they were purchased on my old account. I cannot open any book now either on my laptop or my ereader and I have no way of accessing the old Adobe account.
    My computer is running Windows Vista and my ereader is Sony PRS T1, I suspect that this can only be resolved by Adobe linking or merging my accounts but if anyone can help  I would be very grateful.

    Please refer to the forum, http://forums.adobe.com/message/6060995

  • Remove drm from purchased

    Hey, iWorld!
    I have 1300+ songs on iTunes.  About 450 of them were purchased through iTunes; the rest were uploaded from CDs I had.  There are about 125 of those legally purchased songs that I want to play on my Samsung Galaxy S3 but I cannot figure out how to remove the DRM protection.  Again, I PURCHASED these songs so I am not asking to do anything illegal.  I just want to be able to play the music I purchased.
    Also, can I use iTunes on my Samsung Galaxy S3 as an iPod of sorts?  The stock music player is not my favorite.  Any ideas?
    THANK YOU!

    I have a followup question about this, since I want to do something similar with my new Nexus 7, using DoubleTwist (which uses the iTunes library, but lets you sync with more devices).
    Looking in the iTunes store it looks like 104 songs of the 1,233 songs in my library were purchased from iTunes. The rest I originally added from old CDs.
    It seems a waste to spend $25 to remove the DRM of just those 104 songs. But I was wondering the following things:
    If I did subscribe to Match and did not renew, have I lost anything other than the ability to store my non-purchased items in the cloud?
    I understand that some songs are NLA (no longer available). The entire exercise would be not worth it if some songs are NLA. Is there a way to check before making my purchase to ensure that all my purchases are still available?
    Any thoughts on just burning those 104 songs on CDs and then importing them back into iTunes? That will also remove the DRM, won't it? I read that reduces quality. I'm not a real audiophile, so I wonder how much I would notice. Already almost almost my songs originated from CD and they all sound fine to me.
    It sort of seems unfair for Apple to not allow a simple upgrade of those 104 songs. Particularly since the prices they are currently selling those songs at seem to be the same. But it's Apple, so what can you do.
    Anyway, I was just wondering what the best way of proceeding might be and welcome opinions.
    Thanks!

  • Is There Any Software Available To REMOVE DRM From WMA Fil

    if so please let me know!
    email all info to [email][email protected]][email protected][/url] if you don't post here, thanks!

    Yeah it's quite simple, just burn it to a CD-RW and then rip it with copyright settings off
    It would probably be illegal to use a program to remove it I guess, but I don't know how to get hold of one anyway

  • Remove DRM from early itunes store purchases

    The itunes help screen says, "If you already have iTunes Store purchases that are now available as iTunes Plus downloads, you may upgrade your existing purchases. To do so, visit the iTunes Store and follow the onscreen instructions."
    If there are 'on screen instructions' I don't see them anywhere.
    Ideas?
    Thanks much

  • Is it legal to remove DRM for use with a sonos system?

    I have been asked by a client, to remove DRM from 2500 tracks brought from iStore. The music will only be used on his in-home Sonos system and won't be distributed to anyone else.
    After a quick search around the net, I can't find a definitive answer about the legallity of this practice.
    Help appreciated

    According to the DMCA, it is illegal to remove the encryption without the copyright owners permission.
    "to “circumvent a technological measure” means to descramble a scrambled work, to decrypt an encrypted work, or otherwise to avoid, bypass, remove, deactivate, or impair a technological measure, without the authority of the copyright owner;"
    In addition, the Terms of Service for these forums prevent discussions of it (since it is illegal).

    Click on 'I still need help' and then you should see 'Chat with an Agent' at the bottom of the page.
    'Ask our experts' will indeed just lead you back to this forum.
    Sometimes you will get ‘Sorry! All agents are busy— please check back soon.’
    Don’t refresh the page, just hang on and it should eventually go to ‘Chat Now, and agent is available’.
    They can reset your authorizations, and then you must reauthorize any devices you still need.

    Some of the representatives haven't been properly trained and don't know what to do (and claim there is nothing they can do);
    in that case the only way seems to be to give up that chat and try another session hoping for a properly trained representative.
    If your problem is with another device using Overdrive, Bluefire, Aldiko or similar third party app, it is recommended not to mention that app when on the chat, just mention that you have run out of authorizations  (E_ACT_TOO_MANY_ACTIVATIONS) .  Thanks to AJP_Bear for that tip.

  • Removal of DRM from Purchased Movies from iTunes

    I am trying to find a solution to store an iTunes Movie I purchased from the iStore on my ReadyNAS DUO and play the file on my PS3, even though the PS/3 is DLNA compliant it won't play the file, I suspect this is due to the DRM copy protection on the file. Has anyone found a way around this? I don't want to do anything illegal with the file, just play it through the PS3 at home.

    I don't want to do anything illegal with the file, just play it through the PS3 at home.
    Sad to say but this would also be illegal and also against the Terms of Use of the iTunes store movie purchases.
    You cannot remove the DRM from movies purchased thru iTunes.
    And discussion of removing DRM (since that would almost certainly be illegal) is against the Terms of Use of these forums.

  • How to remove fairplay from old purchased songs?

    Hello there!!
    As you know Apple removed DRM (Fairplay) from their songs some years ago. Is there anyway to remove Fairplay from songs bought before Apple removed the DRM? Or is possible to re-purchase without any kind of cost this old songs without Fairplay?
    Kind regards!!!

    First of all, thank you for taking the time to answer my inquire.
    I was wondering that, but i supposed that Apple could has a procedure to manage this kind of situations taking in consideration that they removed the DRM only months after i purchased those songs.
    Cheers!

  • Remove DRM form music files

    what im trying to do is transfer my entire music library from itunes to an micro SD card to go in my Galaxy S5 but from what i can gather the files that i purchased years ago are DRM protected and wont open up on the phone or even show on the list of tracks. what i want to know is how do i remove the DRM protection from these files?? iv tried deleting and re-downloading one of the songs from the cloud as a test (couldnt be bothered to download the 60 odd songs if it didnt work) but i dont think it worked as it wouldnt transfer to Kies (THE CRAPPEST MUSIC PROGRAM KNOWN TO MANkind. THANKS SAMSUNG). anyone got any suggestions on how to do this??

    Apple 'FairPlay' is the DRM from the iTunes store. It won't work with any non-Apple device, and asking how to remove it will get your post removed if a moderator decides it contravenes the Terms & Conditions (I don't think your post does, but be careful what you ask for).
    'iTunes Plus' was introduced when DRM was dropped and you were able to convert DRM'd files into iTunes plus ones, but I think this may have ended…
    iTunes Store: iTunes Plus Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Apple Support
    This next link suggests that some older purchases may be able to be re-downloaded as 'plus files', but I cannot verify this, check your purchase history to see if items are available on the store. You could create a new user account on the Mac to sign in to iTunes & see all your downloadable purchases without having to delete your own files from iTunes.
    http://www.tuaw.com/2012/12/04/is-itunes-plus-gone-itunes-11-offers-drm-free-aud io-re-download/
    Apple now suggest using iTunes Match to 'upgrade' these files to the plus versions - however you should be aware that some purchases may no longer be available in the iTunes store. Also backup the entire iTunes library before you upgrade any files, sometimes the matched store versions are worse quality or different to your own copies!
