I already googled and found some.

Dunno if they're legal or if they work, though.

This thread doesn't need to be locked.

As far as the DRM stuff is concerned, I've spoken with apj101, and he doesn't have any problems with members discussing DRM circumvention, so long as the music is for personal use. Any talk of removing the DRM for the purposes of file sharing violate the forum rules.

vonfeld7 - It looks like you can obtain a free trial of both Napster and TuneBite. If you try it out, post back with the results.

ill add to that.
This may seem like a contradiction, we seem to be allowing discussions around music sharing but not video sharing/downloading???

TO make clear, Im fine with this discussion as there are a LOT of valid reasons why you would want to remove the drm, mainly to play the song of different devices eg your car, your phone etc.... Whilst its not against copyright law there are potential license legal issues which are still be tested in the courts but are weak.
When talking about films there are no valid reasons to be using torrents or other downloading methods and hence we do not discuss them here. And the argument in favour of knowing how to rip a dvd are not as strong as those for removing a DRM, and hence the reason for the apparent contradiction.

To put it simply Id say most people looking to remove drm do it for legit reasons
Most looking to rip dvds/download via torrents do it for non legit reasons.

Well I'm using rhapsody & tunebite...and it seems to be working just fine. My only "complaint" is that it seems to take a long time to "convert" (whatever you want to call it) the files.

The only reason I am not using tunbite right now is because it crashes my windows explorer..

You know I've been wondering if that's legal. Does anybody know?
