    I'd like to have MP3's of all my songs, they have been legally downloaded from Napster. Is there any way to convert it since they all have Microsoft's DRM protection on them?
    Anything besides Tunebite, which I'm using now, which is just dreadfully slow since I have 800+ songs

    The only thing I've ever seen is the winamp loop hole a couple of months ago but alas it too was dreadfully slow as it had to play through each song to convert to mp3.

    Tunebite sucks. Here is the real solution.

    I will not tell you how to break the law because that is illegal. However, sticking to the precedent of the U.S. Supreme Court "betamax case," I will tell you how to back-up your legally owned DRM WMA files.

    Save your DRM file onto a CD as an AUDIO CD, not as a data CD or as a HighMat CD. When you save it as an audio CD, the DRM is erased, and thus your license! You can then use this CD anywhere CD's are read and not worry about being DRM compliant. You can even re-copy it back on to your computer as unprotected files.

    Yea, tried that a while ago, can't burn it though.

    "You do not have burning rights" error.

    What do you use to burn them?

    I buy my songs from MSN music for .99. They are DRM WMA format. I use windows media player 10 to burn.

    Although you said you didn't want Tunebite as a suggestion, the newest version (Tunebite 2.0) is 4x faster than previous versions. You might want to give it another try, here is the press release of the new version...
