Ryzir Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 Most of my music was encoded with SS 3.1 and I was wondering if anyone is working on a way to remove the DRM from these files.It seems possible now that there is such thing as a Non-DRM Atrac file. I don't really know anything about encryption, just thought it might be possible.I have a back up of these files so they are usable but I hate the SS BackUp tool, it takes forever! I would just like to have all my files DRM-less so I don't have to mess with it or worry about it.I also know some people who have very old SS BackUps (omg files) and aren't able to transfer to newer devices. SS does convert them to .oma files but they still will not work.It would be nice if it were possible, if anyone knows of a place people are working on this please point me in the right direction.Thanks!

As far as I know, there's no easy way to remove your existing DRM ATRAC tunes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 What about employing Hi-MD Renderer for this purpose? It'd add a few extra steps, but better than nothing I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryzir Posted September 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 I don't want to transcode anything. I do have most of my music in FLAC as well. It just takes a long time to re-import everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indeego Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 I think the easiest way is to right-klick the file, chose convert (choose the actual bitrate) and uncheck the DRM-Option. It's quick, cause the file is not re-encoded but freed from DRM. After that you can delete the DRM-file.Note: You can also choose a bunch of files at once ..

Ryzir Posted September 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 (edited) Never thought of that indeego, I'll give it a try and report back.EDIT:I tried and it works like a charm! No transcoding either! Edited September 16, 2005 by Ryzir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumz Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Nice! I might finally have to upgrade from SS 2.3, haha... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I get it to convert LP2 files to un-DRMed LP2 files with this method? That would save me a huge amount of time and effort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indeego Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Yes, you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryzir Posted September 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Also the files remain gapless (for those who would like to know). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
