I recently purchased a car cd player capable of playing mp3/wma/wav files (Pioneer DEH-4650MP). I was really excited because most of the audio I have are in wma format. But when I burned a CD worth of wma songs, it wont play! Why because of DRM (Digital Rights Management) protection.
So my question is, for anybody here who has a wma player: how were you able to play wma in the unit other than using crack codes??
Any feedback would be highly appreciated :)

download ka na lang ng mp3.

can't you convert your wma files to mp3?

mazda2, parang mahirap ata yan. mas compressed version ang wma kesa sa mp3 eh. kung baga, i-rereverse conversion mo.
pareng 7391N an idea lang pero i have not tested it. why not re-rip your wma files via Windows Media Player, baka pwede. load it from CD/Hard disk, tapos yung output mo sa rip files sa Win Media Player is MP3.

pwede kang mag convert ng WMA to mp3.. mas maganda.. although mas lalaki ng konti ang file size..
i think i have a converter sa bahay, il check later, at kung gusto mo email ko sayo.. d naman ata kalakihan yung program na yun

here's the website of several programs offering WMA to MP3 (and vice-versa) conversion:
http://www.wma-mp3.com/

sir happy gilmore, bakit kaya hindi ko magamit ang ripper ko ng windows media player? hehehe ayaw niya eh kaya meron pa akong DMC (not sure) converter and DMC input something, mas maganda din sila mas user friendly...

ayun pala eh. may website na si mazda2. try mo na lang yun.

ano ba ginamit mo pang ID3 tag? baka yung pang tag mo pati yung license inapply nya. Try using musicmatch tapos manual tagging.
WMA is actually better than MP3. same quality anf 96kbps WMA and a 128kbps MP3.

salamat sa lahat ng replies nyo mga tol.

sinubukan ko na dati yung www.wma-mp3.com pero hindi din sya pwedeng makopya dahil pa din sa DRM protection na yan. last resort ko na yung mp3 conversion kasi mas gusto ko yung wma e kasi halos lahat ng sounds ko is in wma format na..
*pareng pissword*
send mo na lang sa email ko yung sinasabi mong wma-mp3 converter mo sa dwnpick_gtr@yahoo.com... salamat!

ang output lang yata sa windows media player is wma, not mp3.

ano yung ID3 tag? san nakikita yon? kasi ginawa ko lang ay i-rip sa windows media player from cda to wma, tapos nag-burn ako sa cd. wala akong nadaanan na ID3 tag e. actually ayaw din tumugtog yung cd sa ibang pc hanggat di ako nagdownload ng DRM license online.
maraming salamat ulit mga tol!

pre subukan mong i-burn yung wma files mo using media player 9 ng winxp.

you'll lose some quality if you convert the wma to mp3 (I guess for most people, di na 'to mapapansin -- especially those who can't distinguish a 128kbps MP3 from a CD).
I have the P7550MP, it can only play Windows Media Player 8 encoded files - version 9 is supposedly better pero di 'to kaya ng player.

salamat sa lahat ng replies nyo mga tol.

bro pwede. i rip CDs to MP3 using Windows Media Player.

you can also rip audio cds using winamp pro.

bagsak ko din ngayon ay mp3. meron akong nahiraman na freeware na pwedeng mag-convert ng cda to mp3 tapos ang sampling rate up to 320kbps pero 192kbps lang ang setting ko. ayos na din siguro yon. pero kung makakakita pa din ako ng paraan para mapatugtog yung wma ko, mas maganda sana.
hindi ko alam na pwede pala mp3 output ng windows media player, susubukan ko nga ito. salamat mga tol.
