on 11/20/2007 My choice is MelodyCan (http://www.convert-any-media.com/index.php) Conversion speed and quality is very good. Also I noticed when playback window is partially obscured it doesn’t affect converted file. So as for me MelodyCan (http://www.convert-any-media.com/index.php) is a great solution to convert protected files - legally.
