WedgeAntilles 0 Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 I paid for my CD at Target, downloaded the bonus track and because it's some kind of protected WMA file I can't convert it to any format that will go on my iPod!Usually, iTunes can do it. Roxio can do it, Nero can do it. Heck, I downloaded a WMA to MP3 converter and it couldn't do it, either. All because it is a protected file.I figured I could burn it to a CD first and then convert it but I don't feel like I should have to do that first for something I paid for....Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!I was about to rip the audio from the DVD to put on my iPod, too, and am assuming that that shouldn't be a problem....

Lurker 5 Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 If you have a program that can record off of your sound card then you can play it and record it as a WAV and then convert it to AAC. Or just burn to a CD-R or CD-RW and then just re-rip it.Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WedgeAntilles 0 Posted May 5, 2005 Author Share Posted May 5, 2005 I thought of burning it to a CD, too, but it just annoys me that I can't just convert it easily...I'll have to rethink your first option and see what I can do...Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WedgeAntilles 0 Posted May 5, 2005 Author Share Posted May 5, 2005 Well....I went to their website this morning and left them feedback since they don't have a regular e-mail address per se, and I asked them what their logic was since I could rip the soundtrack to the iPod but not the free track? I failed to mention that I was going to rip the audio from the DVD to my iPod but I thought that might be pushing it a little since I want some real info from them...although I probably won't get that......

pixie_twinkle 48 Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 The bonus track was pretty lousy IMO. Just John Williams saying what the Sanskrit words were in ROTS. No new music. All a bit of a waste of time going through all the hassle of downloading it. It's 3MB of my hard drive I'll be reclaiming soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightscape94 965 Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 pixie, that's the Walmart version. The Target track is the BotH edit...Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg1138 3 Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 I had a similar problem with something else - a litte programme called DBPowerAmp sorted it out.....freeware and a decent little convertor.....I converted the protected WMA into an mp3 with no trouble at all - worth a go!
