Convert DRMed WMA files to Usable MP3s

Step 2 "Fair Use"-ify The Suckers

First download the tracks you like in Rhapsody by right-clicking on songs in your library/playlist and choosing download.

Next open fairuse4wm.exe and click recover keys. If this fails your computer may need a security upgrade from Microsoft that you can get by downloading and playing and DRM2 song... if you google the error, there are lots of links to solutions.

Third click next and add the files you previously downloaded. they are normally in my music, and you can add the whole folder if you like.

Finally choose an output location (i like "my documents/My DRM FREE Music") and click next. wait and click finish.

You now have DRM free copies of the WMA files. This is enough for many players to handle, and will not lose any quality. The next step converts a lossy format to another lossy format, thereby losing quality; however, it allows playback on simpler, older, or buggier players such as my "Mattel Juice Box" and my VR^{3 VRFM8BLN car mp3/wma player/fm transmitter.}
