DRM issues with files ripped from CD: Any way to obtain license with POP/receipt/...?

Hello all!
I bought a CD back home and had it sent to my family's house there, thinking it would come in before I had to leave for overseas. It did not, and I need the files for a project. I had my family rip the CDs to our home computer and send them to me; the problem is, they are DRM protected and I cannot play them on my computer.
I have a proof of purchase for my transaction- I have my receipt for that matter; is there any way I can obtain the licenses for the file (online or otherwise) through the use of either of those, or am I totally out of luck?
If anyone has any advice or ideas, I'd be glad to hear them.

Thank You!

You can use freeware software like ExactAudioCopy or AIMP to rip Audio CDs to MP3 and other formats (including lossless ones like FLAC).

When you use Windows Media Player to rip CDs to WMA, you should disable the usage of DRM protection in the settings on the CD Ripping tab. You may also rip Audio CDs to MP3s with WMP.

My suggestion is to re-rip your Audio CD instead of trying to get licenses for your files (Unfortunately I have no idea how to obtain licenses even if you have a receipt). As an option I can recommend to download the same album from p2p networks using software like uTorrent. Try to find audio files ripped losslessly. I only suggest it because you own the same CD, so this shouldn't be considered as piracy.

Thank you! I thought I'd told them to set the protection not to rip with the file, but when I asked, they hadn't. Slipped my mind completely, I suppose.

Thank you again!
