The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
My room mate just bought a new computer and hooked up her external hard containing all her music to it. Unfortunately, when she ripped it all on her old computer, she ripped it into WMA format, which put some sort of DRM on her legally owned music. When she tries to play a song that she ripped from an actual CD, we get told we need to download a license for the song.
Rather than re-rip every bloody CD she owns, and some she borrowed from friends, we'd really love to have a batch file converter to mass convert all of her DRM'd and the few non-DRM'd WMA files into normal, joyful MP3 files.
We still have her old computer around; I assume it would be necessary to read the DRM'd files, but I could be wrong.
