I have tried doing this but it asks me to remove it from PROTECTION. means the file has been protected. Please how will I remove it from protection.

Download any audio/video coverter,
Xilisoft 3gp coverter is a good one that lets u convert any thing tu a good number of formats including mp3 pro.
Or rather, u can try the father of all; Nero Burning Rom if you have a good internet connection.
To get the software; Gizoogle it, check www.filehippo.com or use a torrent.

I have the same problem too, I even got Torrent but don't know how to use it, shame on me!

To use Torrent, type the name of what ur looking 4 on the search box on the top right corner of the Torrent window and hit enter, A new browser window will pop up showing torrent files available for download, the torrent file shuld nt take more than 30secs tu download, Doubl click on the torrent file and minimize the Torrent App window and continue what u were doing. U will be informed when download completes.

Guy! Turrent is a little too advance 4 u,why dont u try ARESULTRA with it u can even download turrent file.
A wma file written protected? Are u sure u æ not hidding something ,it only a porn video from turrent are protected you have to download its codec.
Whenever u want to download an mp3 file make sure its really an mp3 file.to converte wma to mp3 go to www.download.com find wat u want.

the files are DRM protected .this probably means they were ripped using windows media player with the 'protect files ' option .
this actually happened to me a few years back.i didn't even realise my files were protected till i formatted my system.then, when i tried to play them on my reinstalled windows, no dice!

you have to connect to the internet before you can play them.try playing the file with wmp, after which a license will be downloaded to your system. then you can play them on your system.if you're unlucky, you'll get a message stating 'this license has been downloaded 10 times'.

to convert them try tunebite.its an app that dubs the tracks to MP3.you will need the crack though.

in my experience, you cannot convert DRm protected files using standard file conversion apps. of course, that may have changed.

you can also type 'drm buster' into google.this will link you with apps that can break drm protection.

try www.media-convert.com

why cant you just download the windows media 11 or change your OS to XP unlimited .

Windows Media Audio (WMA) files use a proprietary format developed by Microsoft and used by media players built into Windows, like the Windows Media Player. Many other players don’t support WMA files, but they’re easy to convert to something different. This guide explains how to convert a WMA file to MP3 easily.
