Cracking Napster's Protected WMA Files

You can try FairUse4WM, that might do the trick.

Otherwise, there's the trusty ol' analog hole. Go to Radio Shack and get yourself a 1/8" male to 1/8" male stereo cable. Plug one end into your line-out port (on your sound card) and the other end into your line-in port. Start up a sound recording application (Audacity works nicely for this) and begin recording. Then open your media player and start playing the song. Your recording software should log the "incoming" (outgoing) audio from your media player and write it out to disk.

There are two disadvantages to this method:
1. You will lose some quality going from digital to analog back to digital.
2. You will lose more quality recompressing to MP3 from a WAV that was generated from an already-lossily-compressed WMA.
3. You must do this all in real-time. This means a 4-minute 30-second song will take 4 minutes and 30 seconds to record. That's not counting time to trim off silence in Audacity and save as MP3.

However, there is NO WAY to prevent this from being done, no DRM in the world can stop it, so it's basically your guaranteed failsafe fallback method.

Try FairUse4WM first. Then if that fails go to the line-out line-in method.

Oh, and...

Please speak real English. The linguistic dissonance going from "legizzle" to "ergo" just makes my brain make little sicky noises.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
