freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media WMA,WMV,ASF files

[wadster21]

We're definitely on the same page there. I stopped using it a while ago. I used it back in the day when all the 99 cent downloads started, but have since switched to Amazon (89 cents, higher bitrate, and no drm).

However, it seems like the licenses for all the songs that I got through zune can only be acquired by playing the song in zune, which reinstalls 11.0.6000.6324 and messes everything up.

Does anyone know of any other way to acquire the licenses for my protected .wma files besides through zune?

Any suggestions for this yet? Is there a way to get the licenses for my protected .wma files without having to play them in zune? Sorry to quote myself, but I really want to get this figured out. Thanks.

I posted on the last page, but nobody seems to have responded.

My program that supplies DRMed music messed up and required that i get new keys, and now I don't know how to find my new keys and tell FairUse, so that i can decrypt them and put them on my mp3 player.

Problem in a nutshell: How do I extract keys?

Heh, what an age-old problem: Can't find my keys.

Please! Could someone decrypt this video (380MB) and upload it to rapidshare or etc.? I wasted a lot of time. I can't belive, that is posible! :-(

i seem to be stuck here. here's my setup:

• winxp with no hidden files
• drmdbg 2008/01/01 10:20 for IndivBox.key v11.0.6000.7000
• media player version 11.0.5721.5145

when i run drmdbg it says "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\DRM\Cache\Indiv02.key v11.0.6000.6324" to the left of the "Multi Scan" button. I click the multiscan button.. it plays the movie, but it doesn't create any keys.

any ideas what i need to do? freeme2 is asking for my IBX key & SID. I just hit enter on the IBX question (i have no idea what I should put there if anything). And my understanding is that I need to run drmdbg to get my SID. hence, i'm stuck

Any help would be appreciated!

Here's my console from running freeme2:

C:\Temp\drm>freeme2 p4.wmv
Enter IBX private key or hit enter:

Decrypted content key is too big!
Enter SID for this file:

So I saw this message "When I click on FreeM2.exe it gives this message :

Usage: FreeM2 [-vs2] protectedfile
Press <ENTER> to acknoledge error

It doesn't say which error and when I press "enter" it closes." I am having this same problem, but I have not seen anyone answer this question.... how do I get around this. Any advice would be grand

Hopefully I'm not being redundant, but just trying to get a clear picture of where things stand today, 12/28/08. Fairuse quit working for me about a month ago due to updates to WMP and Rhapsody. I am able to rollback WMP and get an older IBX that Fairuse and Mirakagi recognize, but declares that the files I attempt to strip DRM from don't appear to be licensed to me. This is because Rhapsody ceases to function once I rollback WMP. In order to get Rhapsody up and running (so my licenses are squared away) I am forced to update WMP, and in turn get the new IBX that Fairuse won't work with (file requires a different private key).

From what I gather, this seems to be where we're all at right now. If anyone has a working solution, please explain it to me as if I were slightly retarded, so that I might understand. If my explanation of my problem is indeed where we are all stuck, any info on what the next steps might be would be awesome too.

This is on a PC using XP Pro. And my Rhapsody music is all paid for. Free brownies for anyone who can make this work for me again

Services like Rhapsody force you to upgrade. I don't really know how to make fu4m 1.3 fix-2 or freeme2 or any other lossless DRM removal tool to work with them.

So the only suggestion I have is to use lossy DRM removal software.

"please explain it to me as if I were slightly retarded" haha nice one.

It's interesting to me that I was able to strip a couple of the songs using freeme but as I posted before the rest had the enabling bits problem. I tried sound taxi the only problem I have is the limitation on how it copies the folder directories. ie if you have them in your documents/music/rhapsody and you export to c: it creates a folder structure exactly so c:\staxiconverted\documents and settings\myusername\my documents\my music\rhapsody\username@email.com\artist\album

I'd have hoped it would just only recreate the folders that were actually important such as artist/album.
