Re: HowTo Instructions for Removing DRM with drmdbg & FreeMe2 (from Windows Media Pla

I read in another thread that while the song is playing you right click on it and go to find album info, and it would freeze and you would find the sid. I tried this and absolutely nothing happened when I clicked on find album info (this is the case of all of my songs for some reason).

So I did some messing around and found that if you right click and go to properties, then click on the media usage rights tab, it will freeze windows media player. After it freezes, the sid shows up in drmdbg, and the key file is created.

The person who posted the find album info method only said that the sid would be in the box, so I assumed that a new window would open showing the sid and other info. This is not the case, he meant the bottom box of drmdbg.

So the method is:
  1. put track in drm removal kit folder
  2. open drmdbg and click multiscan. The song will start playing, but you wont get a key or sid.
  3. Go to now playing in windows media player (easiest way to find the song.)
  4. Right click on the song and go to properties.
  5. Click on the media usage rights tab
  6. Windows Media Player will freeze (stop responding) and close.
  7. The sid shows up in the bottom box of drmdbg and the key file shows up in the drm removal kit folder.
The only problem with this is that you can't use any of the automatic methods to do multiple files at one time.
