never trust too much in tech so i don't

Wouldn't you be working on a duplicate file instead of the original??

Why doing difficult if you can just strip the drm protection ?!

There are programs out there that will do what the previous poster is talking about automatically. The programs will record the sound output through the sound card, then convert back to MP3 and auto tag it. Yes, this isn't the pure sound that you'd get straight from a CD, but good enough for non audiophiles. For the purists, it probably sucks, but is fine for the average Joe. The only trouble, you actually have to play the DRM songs for this to work. And, this would be for your own purpose, not for sharing.

well i did say to use a wav editor on it after you convert it.
you can clear up them things if they show up while in there.

my favorite way is to add one echo at 3 or 4 million millseconds of echo at
30% of the volume to the whole song. any of the messed up sound
then can be removed when compressed and still get fair sound out
of it. cause the echo that is added in causes there to be more bits
for the compression to work with.

and 3 to 4 million milly seconds is not to much to cause a warbel in the singers voice.

i think it is million milly seconds the wav editor uses? this is what the help in the wav editor i have says.

Add a delayed copy of the selection to itself.

Number of Echo (1-10) Number of delayed copies of the selection.
Delay of Echo (0.1ms-1ms) Delay time, in milliseconds, of each echo.
Amplitude (1%-100%) Amplitude(volume) of the copied echo.

Can't agree with that. Re-encoding increases compression artifacts. Listen to the cymbals... yuck!

yep its a lot of work,
the sound is not that bad after one time of doing that.

and it is not advised to do for trading or passing songs to some one else
it is needed to know to beable to get your songs working again if the lic, for it is messed up in a crash.

that way you could have your back up copy and not need to get the lic a second time..

RC, that's way too much work, plus you lose sound quality (quality will never improve by converting). Afaik you can't even convert DRM-protected files (otherwise it would be easy wouldn't it?).

The golden rule is: don't download DRM-protected files.

For the newer iTunes 6 and 7 files, you'll need myFairTunes6 or QTFairUse.

simplest way is to
convert the songs to wav files.

open the wav in a wav editor turn the vol up a little in the file. save the wav, don't save as, just click save.

do that for all the wav files.
then convert them to mp3 or ogg or flac what ever you want because once you adjust something in the file while it is a wav all drm is gone,

and it is now your file it won't be the same as online.
if it is wma that can be a good thing because most wma's are,
compressed way to small at them online stores and that messes with the sound.

most the sounds get messed up by the poorly done online store wma's are in the genera's of disco , rap, and anyother genera that has the same type of wild beat going on in the background while the singer is trying to sing.

but thats aready posted in the forum in my other messages.
