How to Remove DRM From Copy Protected Music
Tired of all the DRM protection that is placed on most of the music that you buy today? DRM protection prevents you from burning CD's, listening to your music on unsupported platforms, and it even prevents you from playing a song on too many Ipod devices! But you have no need to worry, it is a fairly simple process to remove DRM (digital rights management) from every single music track in your collection.
Things You'll Need
- Tunebite (This program is recommended for the best DRM removal quality but it does cost $25.00)
- If you wish to remove DRM and wish to do so for free, two freeware programs that are best are QTFairUse and Fairuse4WM. But Tunebite gives you much better quality and can also be used for removing

Now just run the songs through the software. It should be pretty straight forward.
Usually what you do is find the songs on your hard drive, and then upload to the software. After this is done just choose the settings that you wish to convert your songs into. And then press convert!

Depending on how many songs you are converting, this could take a long time. If you have a couple thousand songs to convert then you can expect it to take several days to complete so don't be alarmed with how long it takes. Just let your computer sit and eventually all your music will run through and come out DRM free!
