Introduction
If you have downloaded DRM-protected music, then you have probably discovered how annoyingly restrictive DRM technology is. Not only do you have the problem of working out what portable media players it will work on, but your freedom to use your downloads how you please is also crippled. DRM copy protection is great as an anti-piracy technology, but it often punishes consumers that have legally purchased media. Here is a selection of the best software that removes DRM legally (doesn’t hack DRM encryption) and produces DRM-free media files that you can enjoy on practically any capable device.
1. Tunebite 5
Tunebite 5, which is part of the much larger Audials One media suite, is a DRM removal tool that takes advantage of the analog loophole. Rather than illegally stripping out the DRM encryption directly from the original file, Tunebite 5 records a protected file to produce a version that is free from DRM. The software supports a wide range of file formats and comes with additional features such as, video conversion, a ringtone maker, streaming audio recorder, ID3 Tag editing, and a built-in CD burning module.
2. Noteburner 2
This DRM removal tool actually installs a virtual CD-RW writer on your system that you can then use to remove DRM copy protection. Noteburner 2 works in conjunction with your favorite media playing software to burn DRM-free audio files onto a virtual CD; the only proviso in using this method is that your media player software has to have the facility to burn files to CD. Once the virtual burning process is complete you can then transfer the DRM-free files to any media/MP3 player.
3. SoundTaxi 3
Using Windows Media Player, SoundTaxi can remove DRM copy protection by recording the original file at high speed to produce a DRM-free version. SoundTaxi has good file format compatibility (audio and video) and can batch process folders containing DRM protected media; it can also recreate the original folder structure with the DRM-free outputted files. SoundTaxi presently comes in three flavors which are, Platinum, Professional, and Pro+VideoRip. The later version supports audio and video processing, while the platinum and professional versions are audio only.
4. Share DRM Music

Then, when you burn a playlist to DISC on you media player, ShareDRMusic will convert all music files in the playlist to MP3, WMA, WAV files for you automatically.
