The Low Volta Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 to remove the DRM you could reconvert the music to exactly the same bitrate...aparently this changes nothing to the sound quality but by doing this in 3.2 (with the DRM checkbox unchecked) you will remove the DRMbut please do not take my word for it, I've only picked this up here somewhere...try it with a couple of tracks and transfer them to a friends PC before spending a lot of time/effort recoding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrain Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 do it like that & the music will have no 'location' key. will be as transferrable as a normal mp3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flano Posted October 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 sorry to bring back an old post, but im still having trouble.i have removed all copy protection and tried transfering to my new computer, not only am i faced with the problem of importing one track at a time... but that fact that when i put a track onto my new sonicstage SUDDENLY theres copy protcection and i cant transfer or even play my own music...now this has hit a point of sadness. i have to say i have never seen a programe as bad as this or stupidity like this on a programmers behalf.this is, if you will excuse me, really busting my balls now. i basically cant utilise me new computer until i move all my music and i cant move my music at all due to this piece of crap programcan anyone please help me, i cannot think of anything else i can do..looking forward to some help, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
