DRM removal to mp3 doesn't work with B&N Nook

[aztec506]

Hi
I used Soundtaxi to remove the DRM from all of my Itunes.

I recently purchased a Barnes and Nobles Nook, loaded all of my converted itunes to mp3 songs on a micro sd, stuck it in the Nook and it doesn't see them. The files work fine on a Sony Walkman player and I'm sure they would work on most mp3 players.

I called support, they said there may be traces of protection left on the mp3 files. He said rip the tunes from CD using Windows Media player and they will work. I don't want to have to burn a bunch of cds and then convert them back to mp3s from the CDs.

Anybody have any better ideas or other software that will completely strip the protection?
