Re: Removing DRM from a "one play" license media file with FairUse4WM

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.
I wish it were that simple. I already tried that. Dowloaded the file, didn't play it, open in Windows Media PLayer, dialog box comes up, I've tried using Fairuse4wm before agreeing to get the license and after. After agreeing, a Yahoo message comes up saying you can't play the file (you can only play it in the Yahoo music player).

I've yet to see anyone post that they successfully removed DRM from a Yahoo subscription file, NOT a purchased file. I don't think it is possible. I even purchase a track from Yahoo and used it to recover the key but that didn't help.
