Remove DRM
 
With selected bottles of Pepsi you get 5 free songs from the Nokia Music store, I want to add them to my iTunes library so I can put them onto my iPod, is there any way I can remove the DRM protection from the .wma files so that I can add them in iTunes?

It will lose you some sound quality but you could always play them in Windoze Media Player whilst recording your PC's audio output in Audacity. Then convert to MP3 in Audacity and bring in to iTunes.

The quality wasn't brilliant when doing this and it didn't sound very good on my iPod but thanks anyway.

I looked at that site and they are shareware and the freeware ones direct me to a 404 page, thanks anyway. :mad: Does anyone have any other suggestions?

It's ridiculous do they honestly expect me to go and buy a Nokia phone to listen to the tracks on

have you got the nokia music player installed on your pc, as that i think will allow you to burn the tracks to a cd then just rip them using media player or something like that as a mp3 format then put through itunes.

Isn't there a method where you burn them to a CD and rip them back again.
(Use a CD-RW to keep the cost down)

edit. damien c beat me to it.

Hmmm didn't think of that, will try that once I have used up all the free tracks. Thanks :)
