644582 2008-02-28 18:18:00 is there anything else theat will remove the protection form the songs because i just tried and it said i did not have the rights to burn, sync, play, ang change the files nerd (109)
644583 2008-02-28 21:00:00 Get a copy of the original CD, rip to MP3, done. I'd avoid all WMA's/WMV's like the plague, for the sheer fact that the format supports DRM. ubergeek85 (131)
644584 2008-02-29 05:38:00 I believe i have the cd in question and the problem is that it will not open in any media player! it has its own media player built into the cd and only lets you play and rip the music with that onto your computer in DRM'd WMA files. hazza87 (12499)
644585 2008-02-29 06:54:00 Have you actually tried opening Windows Media Player, pointing it at the CD and telling it to play ?

I have had a couple of CD's as you posted last year wanting to install their own Player - NO WAY :groan: Who knows what "Extras" they add in, opened as above and they played /ripped fine.

The other way was to put the CD in the drive, go to My Computer right click the CD Drive, / Explore/ select all , then "Open With" - Windows Media Player.

644586 2008-03-03 05:59:00 thanks nerd (109)
644587 2008-03-03 17:33:00 Another way is to play them with a normal cd player but connect it to your sound card with a $10 cable from DS and record them that way....I know, its old tech, and it doesn't work with a flash drive, unless you have one of those new stereos with a usb port. limepile (96)
