Download FairUse4WM - to strip DRM protection from Windows Media Player 10,11 WMV,WMA

I got a few songs of puretracks.com and found out that I can't even put them on my ipod. How stupid is that? Oh well I downloaded FU4WM, but cannot seem to get it working. I keep getting the msg "IBX component does not appear to be present."
Any idea what I am doing wrong?
TIA!

Did you individualize your system?
Please read the first post of this thread

Thanks that helped!
However now it says:
Extraction in progress on "Indiv01.key" 11.0.6000.6324 -- Please wait.
Phase 0 : Blocks: 1341 Large 0 Small, Errors: 0,0 Candidates: 4,3,2
Failure - Unable to identify RC4 and AES internal keys.

I searched a little and read that I need to wait for a new version. Is that true?

The version 11.0.6000.6324 of the WMP is not supported by the Fairuse4Wm 1.3.fix. You may downgrade it (please re-read the first post), however the trick doesn't work for all.

You may also install the older version of the WMP onto clean system.

In both cases you will lose your current licenses. Make sure you can re-acquire them first.

You may also use lossy DRM removal software like Soundtaxi.

p.s. Whether there will be a new version or not is a complete mystery.

what does Extraction in progress on "Indiv03.key" 11.0.6000.6324 -- Please wait.
Phase 0 : Blocks: 1341 Large 0 Small, Errors: 0,0 Candidates: 6,3,2
Failure - Unable to identify RC4 and AES internal keys.

mean?

FairUse4WM doesn't work with WMP 11.0.6000.6324. You may read more about it in the following thread
Errors when using FairUse4WM 1.3: "different private key". IBX Version 11.0.6000.6324 isn't supported yet.

1. Set your media player to ALWAYS PROMPT before acquiring a license. You should have this as your common setting anyway, because it will save you from folks using the DRM URL to deliver I.E. exploits.

2. Open the file in the Windows Media Player and acquire the license, but DON'T click the Play button!

3. While the dialog is open you should be able to use FairUse4WM on that file. You can also exit your Windows Media Player (Click the Close button) and collect licenses for multiple files.

man thank you that worked for me!!!!

If you get "requires a different private key", go back to the first page and re-extract keys. With Fairuse4wm v1.3, watch for the final message, it should say "Primary and # secondary keys (0 bogus)".

If it didn't recover the primary, you can reindividualize - this will put the primary as a secondary key (which are easier to recover).

If it reports bogus keys, there's a bug in FairUse4WM v1.3.

If it doesn't recover any keys, then the parsing code of viodentia wasn't flexible enough to handle this particular variety.

Hi There! I cannot seem to use the rollback to the older WMP 11 version-- as the files were deleted. Does anyone know where I can find it?

Thanks
