Re: Using freeware FU4WM for removing DRM from Napster music, and downgrading WMP


we have MIDDLE OF AUGUST 2010. current download version is Napster Software v4.6.4.0. i've just downloaded a *.WMA-track (192k) from within the Napster Software.

I am on a clean Windows XP Professional SP3 installation, with Windows Media Player 10.00.00.3802, and followed all instructions of milotis FairUse4WM 1.3-fix1 (2009-01-10).

Well, the Napster plugin is hard to find and doesnt work anymore, and you dont need it. But *what* you might need to get everything going is:
DRM_reset.exe and/or CR3009.exe. I am a rather new Napster customer so it didnt harm firing both off
( go to http://napsterus.custhelp.com and search for < reset > )

After that, you will be able to re-download all *.WMA's from within the Napster Software (Forget Internet Explorer login to Napster account, also forget Windows Media Player/Center login to Napster account!). And you are assigned a new, fresh DRM-license.

To cut it short, the FairUse4WM tool still works strong for new Napster flatrate users!!! I was able to strip of the DRM-license with ease. Absolutely cool!
