WMA DRM and MP3 questions
 

I have downloaded (and paid for) music tracks from the MSN music store .The
downloaded tracks are in .wma format protected by DRM (Digital Rights
Management).

My media player (Squeezebox http://www.slimdevices.com/) will not play these
files - so I wish to convert them to unprotected mp3.

Using Windows Media player I have successfully burned the downloaded .wma
files to a CD and then ripped the files from the CD to mp3 format. These
files can then be played by my Squeezebox.

Thus I have achieved my objective, but my question is - why is it necessary
to burn a CD to achieve this result? Surely there must be a way of
achieving this conversion directly without going via a CD??

Answers will be awaited with interest.

If the DRM people had their way you would not be able to convert from audio CD to any other format. Since the audio CD format is not a computer file, once you have the music on a CD you are free to do whatever you want with it.

It's either burn and rip or remain stuck with the DRM WMA monopolizers.
Just be thankful that we can still convert to "Audio CD"...for now.
It's the same for protected AAC.

You could use something like totalrecorder and record the 16bit 44KHz sound
stream that goes to your soundcard but it's all done in real time. The
CD-RW route is the cheapest and quickest.

Thank you gentlemen for your helpful and interesting responses.

The fact of the matter is that you didn't get any help from those gentlemen.
They used your post as a point of departure in their attack on DRM.

My suggestion would be to convert the DRM file to wav, using a variety of
programs, to see if you can find one that ignores DRM. What you want to do
is find a program that will allow you to make a compilation in wav. Then
simply convert the file back to the compressed file you want.

Start out with dbpoweramp music converter. If that doesn't work, try CDex.
No luck? Try burrn. In every case, you should download one of the older
versions of the program; it's less likely to know about DRM.

You have to convert to CDA (CD audio track)

aka "wave"

before encoding to WAV format.

One does not "encode" wave...it is what was on the CD, no change other
than a header.
IOW, "CDA" WAVE.

Besides converting a lossy
DRM WMA to WAV is not a good suggestion.

Why not? That is exactly what is done everytime it is played. However,
there is no "conversion", merely decoding.

Norm, we offered the OP a way to do what he wants to do. You offered
him
nothing useful at all - you say "find a program that does what you
want".
Great advice!

Question "I'm poor, how can I be rich" Answer from Norm "That's easy,
find
something that will make you rich instead of poor".


Incidentally going directly to WAV and then back to MP3 is a double
encoding
that you'd what to avoid but unless there is a way that none of us
knows
about to 'strip' the DRM out of the file (and I don't believe the DRM
is
just in the header), any program would HAVE to do that anyway.


Good luck, Malcolm

Yeah, Obviously, Norm has never converted a DRM file in his life.
And, yes..double encoding, as DadiOn also suggested, is nothing short
of imbecilic.

You really should spend a little time trying to learn the terms and what
is actually happening when you rip/encode/"play"-decode. I don't think
an understanding of same is beyond even your demonstrated, meager
intelligence.

I'm not sure if Winamp plays DRM encoded WMA's but if it does you might be
able to use the Diskwriter output plugin that sends the data to a .wav file,
instead of to the sound card.

I don't have any DRM files to try it though, sorry.

"aka wave"?? CDA (CD audio track) is not even a file format until
it's encoded to WAV. CDA is used for encoding music on commercial

Again, for storage on a windows PC an encoding from CDA to WAV is

that the original CDA didn't have.

It's not a good suggestion because Malcolm is using a Squeezebox. You
can't "squeeze" too many WAV's into a Squeezebox. You obviously
haven't even read the original post, and are only interested in
irrelevant rebuttal to which you know nothing about.

Your memory is worse than your "advice".

You advised someone to edit MP3s using the Nero WAVE editor. I pointed
out that the Nero WAVE editor doesn't edit MP3s, it edits waves. Like
any other WAVE editor. Any WAVE editor first decodes the MP3 to WAVE
then re-encodes that WAVE to MP3 when one has finished editing. Since
the OP was wanting to chop off silence a wave editor was a poor choice
as there are programs that can do it directly to the MP3 without the
necessity of decoding/encoding.

Try to comprehend the forgoing, it is a simple concept. Read it
multiple times as needed to understand.

Nice strong start, straight in with the acerbic, incisive polemic which I

I think you're the one doing the *whining* moi beauty... ;-)


about crossposting of a silly thread and slinging
gratuitous insults at people you do not know, even descending to the
amazingly puerile tactic of making fun of a person's name,


It's a terrible name - sounds like a low-speed traffic accident.

OTOH, if it is his real name, it shows he's got gut and doesn't hide behind
summay tossy like 'CQ'....


yet now, when
you have been replied to in kind, you feel it is alright for you to
crosspost and perpetuate the same thread.


****in' terrible ain't I?? ;-)


We can add hypocrite to the
short list of attributes you have demonstrated in your short time in the
amm group.

Go on then, why not if it makes you happy...?? :-)

You'll have to excuse me now - me tea's cooled down a bit!

Ciao...

But the funny thing is that I could kick your fruity "arse" all over
the floor. For proof, one only needs read your born-with-silver-
spoon-up-arse, pansy posts. I have rarely seen someone quite so
antisocially bourgeois on Usenet as yourself. Enjoy driving home in
your Jaguar to your boring family, so that you can wank on with the
lie you've been told that you're smart and special.

Or, as I'd say in American English, you's a ho.

OK, it's lunchtime, I'll play.... :-)

Been let out to the playground, have you?

Btw, that'd be *arsehole* in ukra....

Ah, but there is so much more to the world than your little rec.audio
group.

but I haven't really been paying close attention...

No. That seems to be a problem for you. Too self involved, perhaps?


Possibly. Who knows/cares/gives a ****...???

I don't know for sure, it was a guess, hence the "perhaps". I don't care
much, it was more in the way of a musing. Nobody around here gives a
**** but you do insist on inserting yourself in places where nobody cares
about your opinions so you are going to have to accept those of others in
return.

Optionally, you could just have the maturity to not read that which you
supposedly don't care/give a **** about, let alone respond to it.

Why do you think the only one
(audiohead) that is actually silly or a little boy would care whether
or
not he bothers you and your group?

No, beats me -

No? You can't answer that question with a yes or no.

Correct, it's difficult to answer a 'why' question with either one, I
find....

Yet you attempted to above? You are in such a hurry to demean you miss
the point and are demeaning yourself. Laughable.

Without a comma
after the "why" its answer requires an opinion.


Requires? Like I'm *obliged* to provide you with one or summat??

No, nobody said anything about you being obliged. Are you comprehension
challenged as well as attention deprived? The fact is you chose to
attempt to answer the original question. I merely pointed out that to do
so required an opinion, not a simple yes or no.

Note: "its answer requires". Clear enough for you?

Seems you have a bit of a problem addressing the subject matter at hand
and want to resort to silly deflection. No surprise.

So I do get to invoice you then? Simple yes or no will do - seeing as you
are so fond of yes or no answers...

No, I think not. You have yet to deliver anything of value.

I asked you about what you think. Do you often have to ask others to
tell you what it is you think and why you think those things?

All the time - and why I've gone into certain rooms at times and WTF it was
that I was looking for when I had gone into those rooms...

I also lose teaspoons...

Yes, but of everything you've lost I'm sure you miss your manners the
most, no? At least those strangers unlucky enough to encounter you in
public places certainly must miss your manners.

I guess....

shrug

Shrug? Is that meant to convey some sort of aloof lack of interest in
the point made? If that is the case then why respond at all?

How odd.

as is the fact that there seem to be plenty of people
in amm who are equally silly enough to respond to him....

Actually there only seem to be two people here who bother with him
anymore.


Did I ask?

You made an observation and an assumption that was in error. I corrected
your erroneous observation. Nobody can prevent a person such as you from
making assumptions, though.

Simple enough for you?

no matter what an attention deprived self involved pompous little
pedant like yourself has to say.


Your punctuation has gone to **** as well

Ah, 'twas a matter of style. Forgive me if I don't always conform, in my
writing in a relaxed and informal forum, to the pedantic and narrow
minded view you seem to hold of what is and what is not correct.

- are you an American?

Is this meant to imply that only Americans are capable of misusing
punctuation? Are you so incredibly closed minded as to believe this?

Have you never heard of James Joyce?

would have had much more chance of success with them than your gratuitous
and condescending attempts at insult.


Yebbut, where's the fun in that? :-)

Ah, so you are simply attempting to stir up **** because you find it to
be fun. I suspected as much.

Nice job though. You have called his attention to the fact that he is
now bothering those in another group and he may well take to bothering
you and have less time in his, err, busy life for bothering the
contributors to this group.


Or I have called his attention to the fact that he is also making himself
look a tit to people not subscribing to his 'own' group...???

Oh yes. And the two people who are answering him here, what exactly do
you think THEY are doing when they answer him? Inviting him over for a
beer? The guy isn't going to be any more impressed by you calling him a
"tit" than he is by anyone else pointing out what an ass he is, no matter
what you think of your ability to apply withering insult at whim.

He is actually so stupid that he will not understand that the word "tit"


You've said 'tit' twice now - do you like that word?

Not particularly, no. That would be why I included the quotation marks
to make it clear that it was your word choice that I was quoting.

Apparently you like the word.

as you use it is different from the American slang that he knows which is
the only thing his limited range of intelligence allows him awareness of.


If Yanks leak into UK newgroups they get UK currency - it's hard, but it's
the way of the world....


"Leak into UK newgroups"? Is your group new? Is your spelling going to
****e?

Also, since you want to be the grammar police, what's up with all these
groups of four periods? Are they supposed to be ellipses? That's all
botched up, Keith.

An ellipsis is done like so: " . . . "


He'll think you are saying he looks like a woman's breast.

There you go again!

In order to "go again" I would have had to have repeated something I'd
said or done previously.

What exactly was that?

(I think you're enjoying this! :-)

Watching you make an idiot and more than a bit of an ass out of yourself
while you are trying to be clever yet showing yourself to be nothing more
than an insufferable little pedant and a self-important fool has been
mildly amusing, yes.

However, you are quickly becoming quite boring.

snip

You came here whining

I think you're the one doing the *whining*

Howzat again? Whining? Where would that be?

moi beauty... ;-)

Well, the "moi" is misplaced but the other is the first thing you've
gotten even close to correct.

about crossposting of a silly thread and slinging
gratuitous insults at people you do not know, even descending to the
amazingly puerile tactic of making fun of a person's name,

It's a terrible name - sounds like a low-speed traffic accident.

Everyone can't be blessed with such mundane cognomens as yours, Mr.
Garratt.

Rather conjures up an image of someone being unsuccessfully strangled in
an attic, don't you think, Keith?

OTOH, if it is his real name, it shows he's got gut and doesn't hide behind
summay tossy like 'CQ'....

Hide behind? You seem to enjoy attempting insult where none exists. I'm
not hiding behind anything. I'm using, as is the usenet convention, a
"nym" or "nickname" to post. Many folks who regularly read this
newsgroup know exactly who I am, where I live, what I do, etc. Hard to
be hiding when I'm in such plain site.

yet now, when
you have been replied to in kind, you feel it is alright for you to
crosspost and perpetuate the same thread.


****in' terrible ain't I?? ;-)

Perhaps you would like to think so, but no. You are simply a typical
usenet pest with an overblown opinion of yourself.

We can add hypocrite to the
short list of attributes you have demonstrated in your short time in the
amm group.

Go on then, why not if it makes you happy...?? :-)

Excuse me, but what sort of punctuation is that, exactly? Gone right
down the toilet again, haven't you, Keith? You certainly do provide
ample proof that even the British can butcher the English language, even
while you continue to try and nitpick the usage of others and make broad
and inapt generalizations about people you do not know.

Yes, hypocrite it is then.

You'll have to excuse me now - me tea's cooled down a bit!

I can't see how that concerns me or causes me to "have to excuse" you.
Perhaps you meant "please excuse me now" but we already know you have
****-all for manners, right Keith old boy?

Like so much of what you write this simply underscores what an idiot you

apparently can't do a thing about your inability to distinguish between
"your" and "you're".

As far as dribbling and drooling go, you would be the one who came into
the amm group gratuitously insulting any and all who took offense at your
offensive nature and behavior, something you are apparently helpless to
control.

All cross posted and off-topic in the name of putting a stop to cross
posting of off-topic threads, too.

Remarkably hypocritical, donchathink?

Asitappens, I save my manners for people I like, respect and/or admire -

Ah, okay. So you don't really lack manners; what you lack is grace and
decency? Got it.

Oh dear. A man whom I have already called a pompous ass, a buffoon, a

That says a lot from someone who doesn't even know that files can be
edited in Nero.

Your memory is worse than your "advice".

You must really enjoy making a fool out of yourself. Are all UK bloats
as ignoble as you or are you just one of those special cases? You
lost this one a long time ago. I guess your UK Ego bruises easier than
most of your other fellow bloats. Too bad.

You advised someone to edit MP3s using the Nero WAVE editor. I pointed
out that the Nero WAVE editor doesn't edit MP3s, it edits waves.

Audio files, WAV and MP3 alike, are edited in "Nero Wave Editor," which
is only a part of an entire product suite. Obviously, you lied about
using Nero and are still trying to redeem yourself. This is really
pathetic. I would have expected more from a UK bloat. You should be
ashamed of yourself for your fellow compatriots!!

Like any other WAVE editor. Any WAVE editor first decodes the MP3 to WAVE
then re-encodes that WAVE to MP3 when one has finished editing.

You don't "re-encode" a WAV to MP3. It's either decode a MP3 or encode
to MP3. Besides this has nothing to do with the OP. Perhaps you need
to study your own so called informative website more often, and try to
learn something instead of spouting pure gibberish.


Since the OP was wanting to chop off silence a wave editor was a poor choice
as there are programs that can do it directly to the MP3 without the
necessity of decoding/encoding.


The OP was only trying to split tracks. Go back to the OP and look at
it again...and again....and again. You really have become senile.


Try to comprehend the forgoing, it is a simple concept. Read it
multiple times as needed to understand.

Learn from you own advice. This is especially true for "Inattentive
Types" like you. Apparently, re-reading hasn't and likely won't work.


You really need to get away from this forum once in awhile and actually
have a life. I'm actually starting to feel sorry for you. Seriously,
when's the last time you even got laid?

At least I don't hallucinate that I can hear someone's voice through
their writing, goofball. The truth about the U.K. for you bumbling,
self-congratulatory BritNerds is quite amusing, really, since your
country is not much less redneck and working class than the U.S. Maybe
you should leave your comfy urban flat once in a while. ****in' geek.

And I don't assume that I can guess where someone lives through their
posting either.


Fortunately, it's only in your own deluded minds that most other U.K.
citizens would support your juvenile anti-Americanism.


Ahh, and you know what "most other" UK *subjects* believe, must be a
hell of a internet connection you have there.

You must really enjoy making a fool out of yourself. Are all UK
bloats as ignoble as you or are you just one of those special cases?
You lost this one a long time ago. I guess your UK Ego bruises
easier than most of your other fellow bloats. Too bad.

Speaking of making a fool of oneself...

I was born in Indiana, lived most of my life in Honolulu, then Veracruz,
Mexico, then Florida.

I have been all over the Pacific basin, North/Central/South America and
the Carribean but I have never set foot in either England or the UK.

You advised someone to edit MP3s using the Nero WAVE editor. I
pointed out that the Nero WAVE editor doesn't edit MP3s, it edits
waves.

Audio files, WAV and MP3 alike, are edited in "Nero Wave Editor,"

And before the ****ing MP3s are edited in the WAVE editor they are
decoded to *wave*, you freakin', dense idiot.

which is only a part of an entire product suite. Obviously, you
lied about using Nero and are still trying to redeem yourself. This
is really pathetic.


Obviously, you don't have a clue about the relationship between MP3s and
waves. And you are too stupid to learn.

____________________

Like any other WAVE editor. Any WAVE editor first decodes the MP3
to WAVE then re-encodes that WAVE to MP3 when one has finished
editing.

You don't "re-encode" a WAV to MP3. It's either decode a MP3 or
encode
to MP3.

See? I told you...too stupid to learn.

____________________

Since the OP was wanting to chop off silence a wave editor was a
poor choice as there are programs that can do it directly to the MP3
without the necessity of decoding/encoding.


The OP was only trying to split tracks. .

No matter, a wave editor wasn't the best choice for what he needed.
Better to use something that would do it directly to the MP3 rather than
something that would decode it to wave then re-encode to MP3. Too
stupid to learn...
