well, i have some stuff downloaded and it plays fine in mediaplayer but does not allow me to add to itunes as it is not in the right format. anyknow know of a free program that ill decrypt it or covert it for me? thanks

 

try download.com

 

tried it, but the program says its decrypted or somthing

 

Not sure if it does what you need, but I've used "ImTOO Audio Encoder" and never had a problem. My crappy desktop would bug on variable bit rate songs so I had to make them all 192. That did the job. It changes the formats and all that as well.

 

Itunes should convert it when you add it...unless its in a protected WMA.

 

^^correctamundo! I was just about to say that. Itunes converts.

 

yes, itunes does cofert, but it says its encryped or somting.. thtats what i need to figure out... how to un encrypt it.. lol

 

Then its in a protected format...which usually means your screwed.

Where did you get this music from?

 

bearshare

 

What is bearshare???

Is it a pay site?

 

nope, but in the time it took ya to type it, you coulda searched on yahoo for it..

no its not a pay site, but it sucks the major ****. most of the songs are encrypted so itunes wont let them in.. limewire is still the best IMO, only reason i got bearshare was cause my computer crashed and dude put it on there.. now its like, WTF, that $hit sucks.. DONT DO IT!

 

Yes, I could have searched for it, but as a rule of thumb I avoid illegal download sites because they usually contain lots of crap and spyware.

Well...you will never get them un-encrypted because you don't know how they were encrypted.

I suggest you switch to torrents.

 

Their are certin programs that you download from the internet that are not licensed properly according to Itunes and they wont let you apply them to their program. The reason you can use programs like Limewire is that it is shareware and each song is seperatly encoded with its license. If you by or download from an outside site that does not pick up the license from the song you are screwed
