I found a bunch of old protected WMAs on an old PC that I purchased through a new defunct online music store while I was in college (don't remember which one). I need to convert these protected WMAs to MP3 format but cannot use the typical burn to disc option on this PC because the disc drive will not read blank CDs. I'm on a Mac; can anyone recommend a way to convert these from protected WMAs to MP3 so I can reacquire the music I purchased legally a few years ago?

What OS is the old PC running? If it's XP you could find a copy of Fairuse4wm and possibly strip the DMA on them. That's what I used to do.

I'll try to track that program down, thanks.
