Err...I know this is probably an old question/situation. I haven't ripped cd's in years.
I just noticed that 7 lets you just rip n rip n rip.
What happened with all the DRM issues a few years ago? Or is it just lurking in the background and all of these mp3s I've ripped can't be transferred to my phone to listen to when I jog?
Thanks!
I have had absolutely no issues with mp3 playback, regardless of source--but I play back only on a PC, not on a mobile device.
I'd be interested in other's experience on all types of devices regarding DRM.
Interesting question. Id like to know the answer to what happened to all of it as well.
If you r/click the MP3, choose properties and details
youll see a listing Protected: ... telling you the DRM state
All mine say NONE
So, I tried ripping a CD with Zune, and Media Monkey both
and the results of both show no DRM.
Unless Im overlooking it or its actually hidden somewhere else
ive never had a issue syncing them to a Walkman either.
Cant say iv had any probs to mention, i seem to remeber it was sony who went a bit mad with copy protection including rootkits on some of there discs but i dont think they do that any more
Wishmaster:
Is the DRM state noted in property/details under the "content" area as "protected" where it will say yes or no? I don't see an overt reference to DRM itself in the few mp3s I have checked.
Where exactly would the reference appear?
That it what I was refering to YES. Perhaps i should of rephrased as they both show they are not protected.
I was assuming it meant DRM protection, or at kleast was my understanding, although I could be mistaken.
I was curious as well :) and hoping others may know more about it.
There is an option in Windows media player to add drm when you rip a cd.
Why in the **** you would want to is beyond me.
But the option is there.
Ahhh..I never got that far into Vista to discover that. LOL.
Ok..well, it's all good.
I am SOOOOO in love with 7!
Thank goodness I had some BSODs and thus justified the upgrade. :)
