Things You'll Need:
- Windows Media Player (latest version)
- iTunes (latest version)
-
Step 1
Download and install Tunebite on your computer. When you run Tunebite for the first time, it will take you through a wizard to detect your sound card. Keep hitting "next" until it's done.
-
Step 2
Click on "Options" to open up the options window.
-
Step 3
Click on the "Output" tab. Here, you can specify where you want the converted files saved, and if you want to re-name the files once they've been converted.
-
Step 4
Click on the button with the three dots (ellipses) in the "Output Folder" section of the Output Tab in Tunebite's "Options" window. This will bring up an Explorer window so you can navigate to the folder you want the converted files stored.
-
Step 5
If you want to convert to MP3, which is the most compatible file format, go to the "File Format" tab in the "Options" window of Tunebite.
-
Step 6
Click the "Import lame_enc.dll" button. This will open up your Web browser and search Google for the file "lame_enc.dll". Download this file and put it somewhere safe (not the desktop).
-
Step 7
Go back to the "File Format" tab and click the "Import lame_enc.dll". Tunebite will import the file and allow you to convert your tunes to MP3s.
-
Step 8
Hit "OK" at the bottom of this screen.
-
Step 1
Launch Tunebite.
-
Step 2
Open up the folder where the copy-protected songs or audiobooks are stored on your hard drive.
-
Step 3
Drag and drop these files into the "Songs to Record" section of Tunebite.
-
Step 4
Click the "Digital Dubbing" button below the big "Go" button. This will allow high-speed dubbing so the recording will take less time.
-
Step 5
Hit the "Go" button. Tunebite will start recording each song and saving it in the folder you specified.
-
Step 6
At this point you may want to mute your computer since Tunebite will launch Windows Media Player or iTunes (whichever supports that DRM format), and the songs or audiobook will play at around 4x the speed.
-
Step 7
When Tunebite is done, you'll have all your converted songs or audiobooks in a format your media player can use.

on 11/3/2009 Because of the DMCA, no circumvention of copy protection or DRM is legal in the USA. Doesn't matter how you do it. Even rerecording like this does. Now, it's not enforced against individuals that often, and it's an absurd infringement on Fair Use, but it's still the law of the land for now. So saying that this method is legal is somewhat misleading and perhaps irresponsible.

on 7/12/2008 Anyone know this Media Converter
it's seems to can remove Windows DRM (WMV, WMA) and iTunes DRM (M4V, M4P, AAC), and also a media converter for most of the standard audio and video formats.

Need some advice.

on 6/29/2008 Nice software. However, for my PC, NoteBurner is always the best choice to convert such DRM music. The interface is lite and simple, while the function is powerful and the speed is wonderful.
And it's the first choice for the TopTenREVIEWS editors, please check this page http://audio-converter-software-review.toptenreviews.com/noteburner-review.html (other converters are only for unprotected music)
