Copying DRM protected wma files from a CD

Copying DRM protected wma files from a CD

 

OK, so I glanced through the instructions on removing DRM & the first thing I noticed was that you had to put the protected files in the same folder as the program.

I'm gradually digitizing my way too large CD collection & have just hit a problem.
I have a disc (circa 2002) with 4 audio tracks (extracted no problem), plus bonus video (also no problem) & 3 bonus tracks in wma format. It's when I copied the wma tracks to my hard drive that I found they were protected & the copies are not playable.

Obviously, if I copy the tracks to the program folder, the license will not be there & it won't work.

How can I copy these tracks to my digitized music library? Can FairUse4WM do it, or do I need something else?

I'm running Windows XP SP3

If you can play your DRM-protected WMA and WMV files, then you can remove DRM protection from them. You can't remove DRM protection without valid licences.
