I haven't been reading this forum long so someone else may have brought this up. If you're having trouble finding or installing the fairuse software and you don't need to convert large batches, just burn the protected WMA files onto CD then import the CD into itunes. Itunes will convert into several formats including mp3. Itunes will not directly convert the WMA files from the harddrive and the conversion takes the same time as the track length.

I did this with protected WMA files downloaded from MusicMatch and the resulting MP3 files sounded fine to me (but I am not an audiophile). Just use a CD-RW if you don't want to waste a CD.
