Stripping Zune DRM - Page 2

chfootballjm@aim.com · 01-13-2008, 06:01 PM

i used fairuse as well. I got about 1000 songs with that mug.

i have a couple questions pertaining to FU4WM

1). i sync my zune with one PC (running the old software/firmware) and download songs via the ZMP on another. after using FU4WM and transfering the songs and attempting to sync the new songs to my Zune, i get an error of "For the first sync to this device, you must be logged into the service to register your device". since i'm using the old software, i can't log in. my question is what exactly does the error mean? i'm assuming that it doesn't mean FU4WM didn't work, since i can play the songs in other media players (WMP, WinAmp) and the Properties of the files says they're not protected. or is there something i'm missing elsewhere?

2. from what i've gathered about FU4WM, it doesn't work under Vista. is that true, or is there a work-around i'm unaware of? if it doesn't, is it possible it will at any time? or is there a way to get it to run under a virtual machine installation of XP?

any solutions or points in the right direction are greatly appreciated.

1. Right click on one of the songs in question and see if it is protected.

2. You can use it in a virtual machine.

dude i had that prob too but it was an easy fix. convert those wma's to mp3s and it will transfer fine with the old software. if you dont want to convert them then just get those files to your comp with the new zune soft and that will sync them no prob. took me a long time to figure it out.hopefully it will help you

Use Tunebite. It can take a while, but its well worth it.

Lunaticnick · 01-31-2008, 01:09 PM

everytime I start up fairuse4m windows gives me an error and closes down the program.

Gregory · 01-31-2008, 01:11 PM

Then you need to use tunebite.

Dreamps · 02-01-2008, 08:11 AM

using tunebite and soundtaxi you loose quality just be aware of that

mr.handsomeman · 02-01-2008, 08:35 AM

I hate DRM. But thanks for the info, got to try it. Soon enough, I've never used the Marketplace to buy songs, i will soon though. Thanks!

nathanlawliet · 02-02-2008, 07:44 PM

How come everyone here forgets that you can simply burn the DRM protected music to a CD, then re-rip?

Or does it not allow you to do that?

mishax3 · 02-04-2008, 09:19 PM

Does anyone no if there is a new version of fairuse4wm out because it wont work for napster anymore..

JTM · 02-05-2008, 01:57 PM

That's all illegal you guys know. Regardless of what the software tells you. It's illegal by the TOS of the Zune Pass.

Not to be mean, but no one really cares anymore. Seeing as people who BUY music are treated like criminals... It's not even worth buying anymore.

You won't get caught anyways, but if you are a moral/ethical person, I guess that this isn't for you unless you stand up for your rights.

jadubi · 02-05-2008, 03:35 PM

fairuse and mirakagi can be sent through aim btw

so if anyone wants just ask me sometime on aim = soccerfanman20

heatwave316 · 02-13-2008, 03:51 AM

I have some Rhapsody songs that I purchased. Which software is better soundtaxi or tunebite?

Plus, someone mentioned that the sound quality was downgraded using the converters. How much is it distorted. I'm no audiofile by any means, but I don't want the songs to sound terrible.

joej · 02-13-2008, 11:16 AM

so where can you get the progam thats great news too

Digital Rights Management, but most people call it Digital Restrictions Management. It makes it so that a song you buy off of iTunes or something will only play on your PC.

So naturally, people will take it off.
