I recently bought, yes paid for music that has DRM protection therefore now I'm having problems playing this in ableton. What methods or programs do you guys use to get around this annoyance?

What they said. Or burn it to CD and rip it again.

Those methods all suck and take time. No offence intended.

Must be a better way using ID3 tagging or some such wizardry.

I swear ableton didn't call all my files 'Corrupt or Protected' until recently...

And why not all of them ? Lord knows they all came from a similar source....

Doesn't take much more time than the length of the tune..? Convert it to wav like burning a CD would basically do, or record it playing is the easiest way. I've honestly never dealth with DRM before, but that's what I would do.

Yea no issue on a track by track basis (nas bootleg on route)

but who wants to go through that? wanna be able to just warp bits in and out pronto style

Yes, I could certainly use audacity (open source) to record the song real time but I was looking for a way to batch-process a bunch of files at once, that is, if there was a way.

Thx!

surely they take less time than spending hours trawling around the web looking for a 'quicker' way of doing it...?

60+gb

Just saying in an Ideal world, I would be able to (n) just jump in whilst the creative juices are flowing..

For this I use a converter called Tunebite, keeps the original quality of the file, all the ID3 info, and removes DRM straight up.

Oh and you can batch convert
