I’m another one who got chumped by napster. First I used Music Now, then it became AOL Music Now, then it became Napster. I also had an idividual membership to another download site. Napster took control of all my purchased music regardless of where I purchased it. They have offered all kinds of advice, none of which has worked. They finally gave up on me. I hope this works. I have a lot of good songs I am unable to listen to.

To Rex, yes there are DRM on MP3 files.

I downloaded the song Say by John Mayer from Limewire and it has DRM protection…

Don’t forget you can download drm free music from amazon. And some of the music on itunes is now drm free.

Surely there’s some way to fool the software (iTunes, Napster, etc) into thinking that a virtual drive is a CDROM?

I’m so cool. I can use colorful words and impress people too.
…but I won’t.
Instead, I’d like to make the statement, on this 6th day of April, “My farts stink.”

Just a comment for the author… there is no DRM on any MP3 file, and there never has been.

you morons ever heard of torrents?

I don’t care about the legality. If I like a band I’ll buy a fucking tee-shirt. I download music like people listen to the radio. I want to try new music and I don’t want to sort through shit.

Yeah, I’m gonna have to agree with a few of the people above. You signed up for something you didn’t understand. It’s your responsibility to do some research about how this kind of thing works before you pay for it. Unless they specifically said you’d be able to use the music on your mp3 player, it’s your fault.

Hell, I don’t know how Napster would stay in business if they just let you have as much music as you want and let you keep it forever and use it however you liked. People would sign up for one month and never come back.

Although I agree with your position, let me make sure I understand what you’re saying. You said, “I bought this subscription purely on the intention of filling my iPod with lots of music to listen to. /sigh indeed.”

Ok, so you bought a product with an expectation of, not an understanding of, what you were getting. Do you also do that when you buy automobiles? Buy it then complain it doesn’t have the options you were expecting? I bet you look at the window sticker don’t you? Good boy; good practice.

Like I said, I believe your position has merit, but I also believe you need to do sufficient research before sealing a deal in order to keep the petulant child in check . I expect you do understand the legal principle caveat emptor. Right?

I don’t want to be “the man.” But seriously just buy the CD and you don’t have problems. The music industry is suffering. I know no one likes record labels that take advantage of artist and consumers. But by not buying artist music at full price, you aren’t taking money out of the bad people in the industry, you are just hurting the artist and the people who are low in the industry.

About napster you should have read the contract that says what your getting, but I guess you were to busy forking over your credit card number to see what you were signing up for.

I don’t have a problem with people share some music to help promote an artist you like, but there is a point where you are just stealing. Whether you think that record company’s are screwing the public an artist it still doesn’t make it right to steal music.

I see so many sites and places that complain about this stuff, i just couldn’t take it anymore. I’m getting off my soapbox

peace

First get ANY program that records sound, say soundforge, or cooledit pro, or some shit.
Next, run said program, open a file, and set to record.
Next, play DRM’d song.
When its done, stop the recording and save the file.
Voila, non-drm music.
Seriously, it’s not rocket science.

I’m with Zero……push comes to shove play the CD in your CD ROM and record it live with Cool Edit Pro and cut it yourself (ie, seperate the songs and label them) Cool Edit 2.0 and up will save MP3s, had to do that with my moms Eagles CD…….then I smacked myself in the head and got it off of Mininova to make the copy she wanted for a friend.

RIAA and MPAA sucks long live PIRACY!
