Free DRM MWA to unprotected MP3 converter?

Tinkerhell · Apr 11, 2007, 07:36 PM

I've found WMAConvert Platinum which seems to handle what I am looking for here - converting DRM protected MWA files to unprotected MP3 files. But it's a $15 program (cheap actually) and looks like what i'm going to go with, but I was wondering if anyone out there knows of a similar program that is freeware.

Anyone have any recommendations?

You could always burn them to a Cd and then rip from the CD in MP3 format.

I've always done this as I like a hard copy for storage sake. It takes hardly any time either. Just a thought.

MWA, did you mean WMA, if so Fairuse4VM that should do it

Thanks Erroneus, from what I have read on it, that sounds like it would work. Now I just have to find somewhere I can DL it from that I can get to from work. Grrrr....

I can't find that damn FU4Vm file anywhere that is not a torrent. Don't even get me started about the trouble I'm having trying to figure out torrents... Sometimes I feel almost computer illiterate.

If anyone has the zip file they can send me please let me know.

HA!
HAHAHAHA!
HA HA!

It took me until 1:30am last night to find the file & then get it working & even then I still had some trouble with the DRM keys/licenses for my music but finally. FINALLY this morning at work I was able to get FU4WM up & doing it's thing. Works GREAT. Thanks again Erroneus for the lead on this wonderful little ap. Glad the M$ couldn't find the guy & I hope he keeps putting out new versions of this thing.
