Cannot remove DRM from a *.fl file (Sony Ericsson mobile phone)

[antares]

Hi all,

As you can see it's my first post here. I found this forum because I was looking for some removing DRM soft.

Actually, I'm trying to remove a DRM on a file. This file is readed as an " mp3 " file with my cellular phone but is readed as an " fl " file when stored on my pc hd.

So, *.mp3 when on the mobile and *.fl when on the pc. Of course I didn't find a soft wich can do the removal drm job. I hope some of you will know how to help me. Because otherwise I won't be able to transfer this file ( file that I've paid for ) to my next mobile.

Thank.

What kind of mobile phone do you have? Do you have a file manager in your phone? If yes what kind of extenstion does this file have? How do you transfer it to you PC?

Hello,

Sorry for being a bit late in my answer. But it's holiday time here and I've been off for some days.

My phone is a S-E K800i and yes , I use a file manager. 2 in fact. The S-E PC Suite + Mobile Master.

As I've written before, when on my gsm, the file has an MP3 extension but when read by my PC it has a FL extension and not an MP3 extension anymore.

Thank.

I can't find anything about .FL files.

Can you see the size of .FL files? May be these are the File Links to MP3 files? In what folder do you see the .FL file?

How did you get the mp3 file? Did you transfer it from your PC to your Sony Ericsson mobile phone?

I can't find anything about .FL files.

- So do I.

Can you see the size of .FL files?

- Yes and it's size is 95 ko.

May be these are th-e File Links to MP3 files? In what folder do you see the .FL file?

- Memory Stick/Music/galvanize.fl.

How did you get the mp3 file? Did you transfer it from your PC to your Sony Ericsson mobile phone ?

- Nope. It's a file coming from a paying website.

My phone do read the file as an MP3 file. It's when the file is transfered to my PC hard drive then suddenly it's not an MP3 anymore but a FL file. Strange no ? May be because of the DRM ?

I wish I could help. It seems to be out of my expertise.

And I don't think it is worth to spend time on a problem like this.
If you need the song on your next phone, you will be able to download it

and to cut it if needed. MP3 files can be trimmed with MP3DirectCut without any quality loss.
