How to Remove the Copy Protection From WMA Files
If you have purchased Windows Media Audio (WMA) files from Napster or Rhapsody, you probably ran into a roadblock trying to load them to portable players. This is because music files from these sites employ a copy protection known as DRM protection. To use these files elsewhere, you need a DRM converter program that can remove the copy protection and transform your music files into an unprotected format such as MP3.
