DRM Removal Software


mona

Recommended Posts

I experienced a lot of problems with DRM-ed music rips of my legit CD's after my desktop motherboard had to be replaced.

I would like to ensure the situation won't happen again after future hardware changes.

That's why I'm looking for the software to be able to remove DRM from my CD rips. 

 

All CD rips available on-line are DRM-free  so the relevant software certainly do exist.  

Any suggestions ?

Why don't you consider to convert the audio files to mp3 ? There would be no more drm protection. 

Btw, besides clone cd, you can try Alcohol %120.

I'm open to absolutely all suggestions. :P

Converting to mp3 ?  Why not, but would prefer FLAC or any other lossless format. 

Could you please suggest a good converter, able to work with DRM-ed files ?

Top 5 DRM Removal Programs

 

Introduction
If you have downloaded DRM-protected music, then you have probably discovered how annoyingly restrictive DRM technology is. Not only do you have the problem of working out what portable media players it will work on, but your freedom to use your downloads how you please is also crippled. DRM copy protection is great as an anti-piracy technology, but it often punishes consumers that have legally purchased media. Here is a selection of the best software that removes DRM legally (doesn't hack DRM encryption) and produces DRM-free media files that you can enjoy on practically any capable device.

1.  Tunebite

Tunebite, which is part of the much larger Audials One media suite, is a DRM removal tool that takes advantage of the analog loophole. Rather than illegally stripping out the DRM encryption directly from the original file, Tunebite records a protected file to produce a version that is free from DRM. The software supports a wide range of file formats and comes with additional features such as, video conversion, a ringtone maker, streaming audio recorder, ID3 Tag editing, and a built-in CD burning module. More »

 

2.  Noteburner

This DRM removal tool actually installs a virtual CD-RW writer on your system that you can then use to remove DRM copy protection. Noteburner works in conjunction with your favorite media playing software to burn DRM-free audio files onto a virtual CD; the only proviso in using this method is that your media player software has to have the facility to burn files to CD. Once the virtual burning process is complete you can then transfer the DRM-free files to any media/MP3 player. More »

3.  SoundTaxi

Using Windows Media Player, SoundTaxi can remove DRM copy protection by recording the original file at high speed to produce a DRM-free version. SoundTaxi has good file format compatibility (audio and video) and can batch process folders containing DRM protected media; it can also recreate the original folder structure with the DRM-free outputted files. SoundTaxi presently comes in three flavors which are, Platinum, Professional, and Pro+VideoRip. The later version supports audio and video processing, while the platinum and professional versions are audio only. More »

 

4.  MuvAudio

Similar to SoundTaxi, MuvAudio uses Windows Media Player to process DRM-protected audio and video files into DRM-free copies. The program can convert multiple files simultaneously with up to 10 times normal playback speed. MuvAudio has excellent built-in file format support for both audio and video; you can also download additional plugins from the MuvAudio website that extend file format support for less popular formats. MuvAudio 2 has the facility to automatically search for missing album art and ID3 tags. More »

5.  AppleMacSoft DRM Converter

DRM removal software for the Mac is a bit thin on the ground compared to the PC, but AppleMacsoft DRM converter comes to the rescue; incidentally, there is also a Windows version. The software uses a virtual CD writer (same method as Noteburner 2) in conjunction with the iTunes software to legally produce a DRM-free copy of the original. The software makes use of the importing feature in iTunes to capture to a particular format. The output file formats that you can convert to are, MP3, AAC, Apple Lossless, AIFF, and WAV.

DRM Media Converters

Here are two easy ways to have your DRM-protected media files to be played, converted, edited, copied and shared freely !

Do you want your music subscriptions to be perserved on local hard disk permanently? Are you hoping to have your DRM-protected video purchases & rentals played on any computers, any portable devices? If so, do take a moment to read this message.

In it, you will learn two simple yet effective methods to remove DRM protection from your downloaded movies, television programs, music and audiobooks from online digital media store such as iTunes, Amazon Instant Video (AIV), BBC iPlayer,Rhapsody, Nokia OVI, Xbox Music etc.

First, here's something you probably already know...

What's the DRM?

The full name of DRM is "Digital Rights Management" which is an technology to protect the easy-to-redistributed digital contents including computer games, documents, e-books, films, televisions, music and audiobooks from pirating.

Here we mainly talk about the DRM which is used to restrict usage of video & music purchased and downloaded online:

- Microsoft's WMDRM: Due to Microsoft license this encryption technoloy to other company, many online digital stores like AIV, BBC iPlayer, Rhapsody, Nokia OVI etc use it to encrypt their digital media contents.

- Apple's FairPlay: It is used only in iTunes store to restrict the free use and transfer of digital media contents.

- Sony's OpenMG: It is used in Sony's online music download service called "Connect".

The internet media's DRM is a great anti-piracy technology, but it leads to tremendous inconvenience to consumers that have legally purchased media online.

- The digital copyrighted media files are only compatible with the authorized computer and portable media device.

- When the permit verification service changes, the protected media files will be unable to be played normally.

- The number of playing and transferring the protected media files are limited.

- Consumers' computer will be attack by viruses if they download some DRM-Trojans-infected media files from internet by accident.

Does this mean the consumers that have legally purchased media would be senselessly punished by the DRM technology? Of course not!

Looks like you didn't need help after all

 

@Crazycanuk,

I just posted what I did found, but those programs are probably sharware.  Medicines for such "rare" programs are not existent or hard to find at best ...

So no, no  :nono:  -  I don't feel like the problem has been already solved.

 

Considering lots of ripped audio/video stuff being uploded every single day on-line  - I'm wondering why programs able to remove DRMs are not widely known (have you ever heard those names listed ?)  ?    :think:  

Anyway there are no such popular programs like  CloneCD  or  Alcohol 120%  on those lists.  Does it mean they won't work for me ?   I'm not sure ....

 


 

Isn't there really anyone at this forum who ever did removed DRM from their CD/DVD rips ?

The first software that I think you should have is DVD Fab v9.xx.  This is great for removing DRM (including the latest) also "fix" is available. Also if you want to use a media software you already have (like Nero etc) you can use software that act's like a driver in the background,  it is called Passkey,  info on this also on DVD Fab site.  Fix available no problem.

also re the ts opening post,  

normally when you rip out the cd to flac or mp3,  you get a drm  free file.. 

if you get your files from itunes or amazon or Google play,  you might encounter an occasional drm on the mp4..  (not that hard to remove)

I distinctly remember there is still audio  bypass fn for  cds.. 

You can also ripout  the protection to an unprotected cd or iso

 

You are right., just a moment ago I found this info here :

 

Quote

AnyDVD is also able to remove copy-prevention from audio CDs.

 

So  it means I need to find the last working version of AnyDVD.

Thank you very much  @teodz1984.    :flowers:

 

BTW

Can I use AnyDVD also for ripping out the protection to an unprotected iso ?

Looks like the version from this torrent won't work :

Here are comments for the torrent :  https://kat.cr/redfox-slysoft-anydvd-hd-7-6-9-5-brd-crack-t12590460.html#comment

 

There are several comments telling - this version doesn't work.  

One person gave such an explanation :

 

Quote

Redfox has stopped any version before 8.0.2.0 from decrypting discs. Therefore this version will not work.

 

And there are probably no cracks for version 8...

So what ?  No chance to use AnyDVD ?
