    How to convert DRM protected itunes music wma m4p to mp3 wav with TuneClone

    The music files you purchased from online music stores like iTunes, Yahoo Music or Wal-Mart are under DRM protection. You can not play them on your own mobile devices other than iPod and iPhone. However you can burn the protected music files to CD-R/RW disc to make an audio CD and then use some CD ripper software to convert the audio CD track back to MP3, WAV, WMA, etc.

    TuneClone Audio Converter doesn't bypass the DRM. It simulates the Burning, Ripping and Encoding process by installing a virtual CD burner. All you need to do is to burn your playlist with your media player software to TuneClone's virtual CD Burner, and TuneClone will convert music files in the playlist automatically.

    The following step by step tutorial is dedicated to instructing music lovers to enjoy M4P WMA music files from iTunes Store on other mobile devices, such as MP3 player, cell phone, Zune, BlackBerry, PSP, Creative Zen, etc., with TuneClone Audio Converter.

    Step1. Download TuneClone from http://www.tuneclone.com and install it.

    It is fully compatible with Windows XP and Vista. A virtual CD Burner will be installed. This virtual CD-RW will be used to convert music files.

    Step2. Set the default CD Burner to TuneClon CD-RW at iTunes.

    Click menu Edit, select menu item Preferences..., and then select Advanced Tab.

    As the music in iTunes is encrypted with DRM, you cannot directly put it on any non-Apple MP3 player. The easiest way is to burn the music to an audio CD and then rip it back to Windows Media Player or a similar program as an MP3. Or you can get some software to help you. I use TuneClone to do this. Though not free, it is very well worth a try.

    Below is its step by step tutorial about how to get iTunes music converted to MP3:
