Hi, glad to meet you guys 
Here, I wanna talk about some softwares that can remove DRM and convert DRM. DRM stands for digital rights management. It claims to protect digital media from piracy. However, DRM does nothing to stop copyright pirates. The main purpose of DRM is financial. It prevents lawful user from making back up of purchased music and enjoying music on third-party players. It may also cause some security issues, because DRM controls your computer, automatically connects to Internet.
I prefer to remove DRM from my purchased music so I can enjoy my music without estrictions. Here are some softwares that can help you remove DRM and convert DRM.

Digital Media Converte

I’m using this application to convert DRM files now. It can perform all types of conversion including video to video, video to audio, and audio to audio. It is the only program I have tried that can remove DRM without recording and the conversion speed is pretty good. Recommend.

Tunebite

I used to use Tunebite before I found Digital Media Converter. Supporting many formats is its advantage. Its disadvantage is it can only remove DRM by recording, so the conversion speed is slow and I can’t do anything else on my computer during the conversion process.

SoundTaxi

Another software that uses the recording method. I think there is a bug in SoundTaxi. It starts converting even though the convert button is not clicked.

NoteBurner

NoteBurner acts as a virtual CD burner. It adds an icon to the system tray and can only be used within a player.

In summary, SoundTaxi and Tunebite work by recording while Digital Music Converter directly converts. The results of this difference are Digital Music Converter needs less time to finish converting and you can perform other tasks when using it. Tunebite and Digital Music Converter both support many formats, however, Tunebite needs lame_enc.dll to support mp3 or it can't work with mp3.
Ok, it’s done.( maybe it’s too short, I’m sorry I didn’t have much time to modify or perfect it which only could make you get a simple image of them

. For personal opinion, I like Digital Music Converter a bit more. But whatever, hope you can have much more fun with them.

Well, Anybody who has any advice or comment with these tools or if you got some more efficient software,please let me know, I want it make some effect. Thx

I'm collecting the DRM info and preparing for another article which will introduct the DRM and relevant solutions amply. So I need relevant resources , any advice or comment would be appreciate.

OK. I don't like DRM at all, it's so frustrating when can't do what you want with the music you bought from internet,like transfer and share it with my friends or convert it to other formats which can be played by other devices. And it's not easy to find a good converter to help me with those problem.

The best converter for DRM-protected music/video is TuneCab. It uses unique technology which gives a capability to convert any kind of protected and unprotected data to regular audio and video formats which can be played on dozens of compatible devices.

I found Digital Media Converte really good to use.
Any good video converter as this DRM converter?

Thanks for your share.I always use Daniusoft Digital Media Converter,it could remove DRM from media such as DRM WMA, WMV, M4A, so that you can convert DRM protected music without any restrictions.

Yes , I heard that the PRO version of Digital Media Converter has been released recently, which seems support more popular videos and audios,even the high-definition videos.

Thx, I just wonder if the new version can be used for Vista,I recommend it to my friend, but he only has the Vista OS.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:

* Vista x32, Windows XP x32 or Windows 2003 x32
* 256 Megabyte RAM
* Microsoft's MediaPlayer 9 or higher installed
