Anyone's going to discuss DRM? This copy-protection junk is terrible and very frustrating.. I do not share the songs I convert, but have to suffer that's for sure...
So the question is: have you checked out any soft stripping drm? I've only seen Soundtaxi demo learning how to strip drm while playing my m4p tracks. You may check it at http://www.soundtaxi.info/
Well... any thoughts here?
Regards ;-)

The program does its magic by basically re-recording the files. It uses (in the background, without any intervention by you) Windows Media Player to obtain a license. It then seems to play the song and re-record the file in MP3 (or some other) format. You can chose the bitrate you want to record to. And the best thing: keeping the tags.
Very exited about the product!

It can be pretty frustrating not to be able to use certain files wherever and whenever you need them because of the drm protection.I never tried the software you're talking about, i've been using for quite some time Tunebite to convert for my own personal use all the protected and unprotected audio and video files.I think it's hard to find a good reliable converter; I'm satisfied with the one I'm using and I never felt the need to find other softs. You can check it out.

Hi guys,
Some of these converters claim to convert files with up to 50x speed, but I'm just wondering if the conversion speed is so high wouldn't the quality of the converted files be affected?
I kinda need a good converter,and I'm interested in the quality of the files rather than the conversion speed.

Hello,

Well, that usually also depends on the converted file: MP3, for example is a format that looses quality, therefore you get a lossy compression, but there also are the lossless audio files, like WMA for instance.
Now, there are converterts that offer good quality conversion, loosing very little to no quality and other that don´t convert that well from the quality point of view.
You should first try a few before deciding to buy something.
However I can recommend Tunebite, I'm very pleased with the results it delivers. You can take a look and download the demo here

Thanks for the guide, this Tunebite you're talking about looks pretty good, I'm definitely going to give it a try ..Of course, as you said, i'm gonna look a bit more before I shop to be sure I'll be satisfied with what I'm getting...

Note: WMA is also a lossy compression file type, as AAC Ogg vorbis…

Flac, Apple lossless to name a few are not.

I agree with you on that, there are some lossless formats, like ,besides the ones mentioned by you, wma,ape,wv, tak ,lossless wma.But still these are not so popular file formats, if I may say so.What happens if I need to convert some files and play them on my mp3 player or mp4 player or whatever?I don't think there are many mp3 or mp4 players that support these lossless formats.So, of course I'm interested in quality, but I'm also interested in the file formats that result from the conversion and that suit the purposes I need the files for.So there are certain things that must be kept in mind when looking for a converter.
