Question - Need Help with FairUse, unable to get key error! (IBX 11.0.6000.6324)

[rob27]

Here is what im trying to do with no success.
I'm trying to use fair use (and fair use commander) which i now have on cd thanks to whoever told me about it here

here is my problem:
went to a different provider and they now require windows media player 11.

purchased a cd that i wanted and downloaded it.
tried to copy it on to fair use (for burning, etc even though it's not near cd quality)

and got some sort of error message

unable to get key/will not support windows media player 11 or something to that effect.

so basically, im screwed.

please note: the songs play on winamp with no problem!

are there any other (FREE) methods that will work? i don't care about converting just stripping the drm crap.

i can use software i have here to convert to mp3

(windows vista)
