Re: digital rights management



1) burn to iso files on you pc (so you don't need blank CDs)
2) prefer ogg over mp3, it's free while mp3 is not
3) despite laws allowing convertion of format for compatibility purpose, you just discovered the authors just put technical restrictions to prevent this (there is no way i know about to decrypt a drm protected wma under linux)

i have about 30 gigabytes of music. it was ripped in windows unfortunately and it got drm. i had not found a way to convert or play these in linux after much research. not long ago, my friend told me he burns his drm wma music to a cd and then rips them as mp3. i might try what he said about burning music with drm to cd and then ripping it as mp3 to get rid of the drm. there is a problem. i have about 30 gigabytes of music. that would take a whole bunch of time and blank cds. do i have to burn it in the format a cd player can play, or can i burn it another way so that i can fit many more songs on a disk? can i use a dvd instead? is there any other way? thats a good idea. i just have too much music.
