    I have a bunch of audio files in wma format and I cannot find a program that can take off their protections. Any good programs I can use so I can make the wma's into mp3s and putting them into iTunes?

    I think the best way around the DRM issue is to burn the files as a CD audio track. This removes the DRM and then you can recode them to whatever format you choose. Be aware that the loss of quality maybe an issue.

    Remember, with Nero, you can burn to a disc image, saving you the cost of a disc. But if you are going to re-rip, I suggest using a lossless format like FLAC or WAV, not a quality-reducing format like MP3.
