Remove DRM - To Have More Freedom With Your Music You Must Remove DRM

If you have been having trouble trying to take your music subscription downloads from sites like Napster and Rhapsody and burn them to disks or put them on your MP3 player you are not alone.
In order to have complete control over your music without paying the per song price you need to remove DRM from the song files first.
This is not illegal as long as you have a valid subscription to one of the fore mentioned music download services.
The biggest problem is that the songs stop playing as soon as you stop subscribing to the service.
There is a way to get around that.
Another common misconception is that you must purchase the "to go" package in order to put the tracks on you MP3 player.
It is true that this is a popular way but it is not the only way.
There are various kinds of specialized software that have the ability to remove DRM and keep you from having to pay additional money in per song purchases.
The way different kinds of software that can remove DRM works is that it usually captures the digital information from the song file as it is being decoded by the keys embedded in your media player.
Many of the different kinds of software on the market today have the ability to convert your protected song files to many different formats such as .
wav, .
ogg, mp3, .
wma and many more.
Some also have the ability to convert protected video files as well.
In order to remove DRM legally, the only requirement is to have a valid monthly subscription to your music download service of choice because it is legal to make backup copies of your digital media.
The only drawback is that your subscription must be current for the software to decode the protected tracks because it needs the valid keys for your media player to access the song files.
However, once you have converted the protected files to an unprotected format by removing the DRM they are yours to keep regardless of your music subscription status.
