How to play DRM protected WMA files in Linux


 
Hi,

I like to maintain a dual boot system (windows & linux) to enjoy best of both worlds. However, I have started using napster to legally download my favourite songs in Windows.

However, is there an way of listening to these songs in Linux. Is there any program that can use the same lisence to play these files as players do in windows? I already enjoy sharing my old mp3s between windows and Linux. Could someone advise me how to make my future collection available too?

Thanks

I think it is better to use DRM removal software for Windows to remove DRM protection from WMA files. Then you can listen to the DRM-free music on any device you have, in any OS you have, including Linux.

You can also try to play DRM protected WMA files with MPlayer for Linux. You need to find SID for your DRM-protected WMA file before playing it in Linux. This can be done with freeme2.
