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

Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media WMA,WMV,ASF f

 

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.

Eazy way to remove DRM protection

 

Try google search Soundtaxi 3.6.5

That's the version I have.

Where can I find the license thing?
The reason why people use programs to remove drm is because they don't have or have lost the license.So what's the point of this program anyway then?
You have to have the license to remove the drm.

Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media .WMA audio fi

 

The reason people use DRM removal software is to avoid losing licenses (as well as to listen and watch legally purchased files on any device they have). Nobody has cracked Windows Media DRM yet, so you can only remove DRM protection from files having valid licenses.

Try using the new drmdbg that was released this week with freeme2.

New drmdbg found at
(it works with Vista!)

Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media WMA,WMV,ASF f

 

This new drmdbg version didn't help me. I still get the error:
No ENABLINGBITS elements in license!

I noticed also that if there are spaces in the file name freeme2 will not work. that's a major PIA for me because every file name I have contains spaces.. usually track number - song name or

artist name - track number - song name.wma

I use freeware Unreal Commander to rename files. You can also use free renaming software to change spaces to say underscores.
