Do you have a huge library of music tracks that won't play on your new player? Or is there a vast collection of copy protected audiobooks (aka DRM)? Special software will come to the rescue (for example, Tunebite), which will remove DRM from copy-protected music tracks and audiobooks and convert files to MP3, OGG or WMA.
Instructions
Step 1
Download and install Tunebite. When you start Tunebite for the first time, the setup wizard will detect your sound card. Click the Next button until the configuration is complete.
Step 2
Click on the Options button to open the options window.
Step 3
Click on the Output tab. Here you can specify the storage location for the converted files, and the names of the files as soon as they are converted.
Step 4
Click on the button with three dots (ellipses) in the Output Folder under the Output tab. After that, the "Explorer" window will appear in order to indicate the folder into which the converted files will be saved.
Step 5
If you want to convert to MP3, which is the most compatible audio format, go to the File Format tab in the Options section of Tunebite.
Step 6
Click the Import lame_enc.dll button. A web browser will open and Google search for the lame_enc.dll file. Find and download this file and place it somewhere safe (not on your desktop).
Step 7
Go back to the File Format tab and click Import lame_enc.dll. Tunebite will start importing the file and allow you to convert the ringtones to MP3 format.
Step 8
Click OK at the bottom of the screen. To remove protection from audio tracks, go to the next step.
Step 9
Start Tunebite. Open the folder on your hard drive that contains copy-protected music tracks and audiobooks.
Step 10
Drag these files to the Songs to Record section. Press the Digital Dubbing button located under the big Go button. This allows high-speed dubbing to start and the recording process takes less time.
Step 11
Click the Go button. Tunebite will start recording each track and save it to the specified folder. At this point, you can mute the sound as Tunebite will launch Windows Media Player or iTunes and the tracks or audiobooks will play at 4x speed.
Step 12
After finishing Tunebite, all audio files will be converted.
