There is a much more simple solution here. who cares about the encryption.
if you use a sound blaster live or any audio card that supports recording "what you hear" then you are all set. simply play the song and record it with any audio program, "cool edit" "sound forge", whatever. then save as mp3 or whatever...edit the ID3 tags if you want. that's how i do it and never download or buy a song at all. i love musicmatch...

doing it this way you never have to burn a cd at all. just play and record on your pc at the same time..so simple!
