How To convert DRM protected WMA file to MP3 files?

1. Open"WMAConvert", as the following picture shows. WMAConvert can convert DRM protected WMA files to mp3 very quickly and easily.
2. Set desired WMAConvert settings.
   1. "Convert to". Choose a folder where you want to save converted WMA files.
   2. "Output folder". If you mark "Output folder" in "Convert to" group, you need to set a folder where converted WMA files will be saved. Use button "Select" to choose it or just type full path in the field.
      
   3. If you mark "Re-create subfolders", full path to your original DRM protected WMA file will be re-created in the folder set in group "Convert to".
   4. "When output file exists". To replace already converted WMA files there is the option "Overwrite existing file" (for example if you want to convert WMA file with a higher bitrate). It's impossible to replace original DRM protected WMA files with converted ones (even if you choose "Same folder" in "Convert to" group). To avoid replacing already converted WMA files there are the options "DonĄ¯t convert file" or "Create unique name".
   5. If you mark and set "Automatically convert files from folder" field, all files from this folder will be enqueued and converted. So you can copy to this folder all files you want to convert and WMAConvert will convert them automatically. Use button "Select" to specify it or just type full path to the folder in the field.
   6. Choose a desired output file format from "Encoder" drop-down list. To convert WMA to MP3, choose MP3. Other possible output formats are WAV and MPEG4 AAC. So you can use WMAConvert not only as WMA converter to MP3, but also as WMA converter to WAV and WMA converter to MPEG4 AAC.
      
   7. Choose a desired bitrate from "Compression Quality" drop-down list. Your converted WMA files will have a variable bitrate (VBR) with an average value set in this field.
      
   8. If you mark "Show select files dialog on start", "Select files to convert" window will be showed at once WMAConvert runs.
   9. If you mark "Automatically start conversion", selected WMA files will be converted immediately after they are selected.
   10. "Advanced mode". If this field is marked, you will be able to play original DRM protected WMA and converted WMA files in WMAConvert (appropriate buttons will be shown in WMAConvertĄ¯s main window toolbar).
3. Select DRM protected WMA files for conversion using the "Select Files" button in WMAConvert's main window toolbar if you want to convert separate WMA files or using drag&drop (for example from the Windows Explorer) if you want to convert a folder or a folder structure. You will see all selected in the WMAConvert main window. To delete a file from this list, select it and click on the "Delete" button in WMAConvertĄ¯s main window toolbar.
4. If you marked "Automatically start conversion" in WMAConvert's settings, the file conversion will start immediately. If "Automatically start conversion" is not checked, select the files in WMAConvert's file list (you can use Ctrl or Shift to select two or more WMA files) and click on the "Convert" button in WMAConvert's main window toolbar.
5. If you marked "Advanced mode" in WMAConvert settings, you can listen converted and original DRM protected WMA files in WMAConvert ("Play converted" button on WMAConvert main window toolbar).
