Play wma protected files - Club CDFreaks

ricmorca · 12-02-2006

I need to play my wma protected files, but WMP is not letting me do it because I have my music on an external hard drive and it seems that I have played some files in more PC than supported.

Does any one know how to unprotect these files so I can listen to htem from my external hard drive? Software, tricks.

I do not have the laptop where the original licenses are because some did steal it from me. Now I only have the files in my external hard drive, and the original cds, but I don´t want to go through the whole process of copying the music again. Any good ideas?

Feel free to answer me to ricmorca@yahoo.com

Thank you.

If you can't play them, then you can't remove the DRM. Your only choice at this point is to re-rip. When you rip them this time, you might consider unchecking the "protection" option in Windows Media Player, if that's what you're using and you prefer keeping the WMA format.
