Comments on: Remove Napster DRM

Small correction. In the case of Napster, the DRM is done server-side, so the downloads still have DRM applied. We have been reverse-engineering the DRM for the last few days, and we are getting closer..

We are working on a library called OpenDRM that allows opensource applications to work with protected files, yet not violate the rights given in the license file. (E.g. if the license says that you can’t burn the file, you won’t be able to.)

Thanks,
Cody Brocious.

There is a website called freemymp3.com that has some good info on removing drm. Some other pretty cool stuff there too.

I looked freemymp3.com up. Nice hint. They are using “Tunebite” to remove the protection. Tunebite is now even available with the new version 2.1 that allows you to rerecord your songs even faster than the older version.

Tunebite.Com is a great tool to use. I was not pleased with the first version of it that converted at real time. But this is really fast now. Thanks for the info Divian

I used tunebite with wmv videos: it looks more like a videocapture tool (with bugs!! it also captures the menus from the wmplayer, and it is not well centered!) than a DRM remover!

Any experience with this ?

For the DRM protected files I always use the Digital Media Converterhelp me remove the DRM which supports most of the popular formats, it keeps good quality and high conversion speed.
