Alright, I don't know if anyone has posted about the same or a similiar situation, but I need help. My friend has The Bravery album, and has sent it to me. Now, the problem is that the mp3's are protected. I can listen to them through Musicmatch and Windows Media and this and that. They are WMA files, might I add. Anyway, I want to put these songs to iTunes, and it asks me to convert them to AAC files. Now, I press okay, but it tells me that they are protected. So, the question, is there a way to remove the protection so that I can convert these files so that they can go onto iTunes, and onto my iPod?
You can try Awave Studio...you may can switch them with this program. But if that doesn't work then I don't think there is a way around it.
Please tell me how buying the album would get the music onto his iPod? [/b][/quote] <3 -- My friend had the same problem and she was able to get around if but I forget how. I'll have to ask her for you.

The method I would personally use is to find some recording software, and play the songs on your computer, and record them. Quite simple. The hard part is finding the software. Although if you have a Sound Blaster sound card, you'll already have everything you need.
it's called Awave Studio...try it, it's what I used to get the audio off video. It'll change anything. Just open the file and save it as a .wav or whatever you need to and then you can open it on iTunes and put it on your iPod.

Stick it in your computer. Open iTunes. Transfer files from the CD to your computer (While incoding them as AAC files at the same time). They are then automatically uploaded to your Library. Transfer them. Duh.

alright here is the trick and program(s). hopefully your computer has a soundcard that will record sound coming from your computer. in other words you can record a sound playing (in your case and song) and convert it to a file format you want, UNPROCTECTED. so while your song(s) are playing, just hit the record button and when it's down hit stop. right, now the programs. for things like this i use a program called Audacity, but that is kinda intemdating at first. another is called tunebit...its a great program for doing this kinda stuff. all you have to do now is choose the right file format. in your case mp3's are the only choose since these programs can do more but you want them on your iPod right? go with mp3. now that you know....go to www.download.com and start searching
Use a recording program: 1. Go to your sound card's volume mixer and select the setting of "What U Hear" or "Stereo Mix" or something similar. 2. Hit record on the program first and then play the song on WMP or Musicmatch. 3. Export the recording in a desired format.
with my program...all you do is open it...double click it...then right click it, and save it as whatever file you want....you don't have to go through all that mess of playing it and recording it...

Mmhmm. If all else fails; redownload the album from a different source. Sorry. It'll probably save you a headache if you do it my way, though.
