They told folk to burn the music to CD then rip it to remove the DRM.
MS told folk in 2008 to move to the DRM free content.

Sorry but that's about all I know. They seemed to have warned us about this a few years ago.

I'm tired of the old and forgotten Zune Marketplace sitting around on my PC. I recently moved (almost) my entire music library to Google Music. Before I delete my Zune Marketplace account I need to upload the rest of my songs which are unfortunately DRM protected. I tried looking for a converter of some sort but Aimersoft DRM Media Converter only converts 1min per song. Can someone tell me how to strip DRM so I can use these songs freely in Google Music or give me a way to re-download the songs DRM free? I would like to avoid BitTorrents if possible. Thanks.
