Do napster songs let you burn them to a cd? I know with Itunes protected songs, I just burned them to a cd, then ripped that cd for protectedless songs!<br><br>mark<br><br><p><DEFANGED_div><DEFANGED_span class="gmail_quote">On 9/11/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">

<br>Hash: SHA1<br><br>Ok... so my wife downloaded Napster the other week so she could download music to workout to. She downloaded some tunes and was<br>ready to move them to her Sony mp3 player.<br><br>All the files are wma, no problem, I'll just convert them to mp3. No can do though, none of the wma files will convert using any
<br>of the windows based tools. So I thought I'd give it a shot on my Kubuntu box. Nope, still won't work.<br><br>I know it is illegal to discuss or share the idea of how-to convert a DRM based wma to a non-DRM based non-proprietary format, but
<br>this is absolutely ritarded. If you purchase music you should be able to play it wherever you want.<br><br>I know I will be urging all of my family members to avoid Windows Media Player 10, Napster and any other DRM ingrained pieces of
<br>software out there.<br><br>Meanwhile, my wife is very very upset. She's not a technical person and she was trying to do this on her own without bugging me.<br>She has no idea what DRM is and she had no idea why things *wouldn't work*. She was just a confused and frustrated end user. I'm
<br>sure M$ just assumed that she'll go buy a new windows-based media player rather then reusing the mp3 player she already has. But I<br>give M$ the bird on this one, and I will strongly advocate to those around me to not buy that crap.
