Convert DRM wma files to mp3 for iPod
I have a music library half full of DRM wma files and have recently bought an iPod Touch. Back when I had Windows XP I had ripped my entire CD collection to wma not knowing about DRM. Later I began converting the wma files to mp3 but never finished. I didn't have a need at the time and freeware converters and DRM strippers were easy to find.
Now that I have Win 7 it is somehow impossible to convert a DRM wma without shelling out cash. I can find nothing free that works with WMP 12. The other options are to re-rip most of my CD library into mp3 format, or to use something like Virtualbox XP and download WMP 11. This seems like a lot of hassle just to move music onto my iPod.
iTunes states it does not work with DRM wma files. MGTEK also doesn't work with DRM wma and says I have to re-rip my CD to mp3 format to transfer to iPod! FairUse4WM doesn't work for WMP12. I'm not trying to do anything illegal but listen to my music on my iPod. Does anyone have any ideas on the easiest way to do this?
64met posted a similar question in another post but none of the programs listed work with DRM.
WMP12 WMA >MP3 Converter
Thanks. :)
