bypass DRM'd tracks into itunes

by annekatejack Sep 10, 2006 5:08PM PDT

hi,
what i'm wanting to do is setup some sort of virtual burner which 'burns' protected WMAs into a virtual cd which itunes can then import from, allowing the music to be played on my ipod.
would this be possible, or even better is there one that does the whole process and puts it straight into itunes

also is this illegal?
thanks-

ps- running on xp pro

Discussing means of bypassing DRM certainly isn't allowed by the forum policies. It's kind of a 'crack'. Whether you like it or not, the owner of the info has the right to protect his property and we've got to respect that. So I'm locking this thread.
