Hey.. need a little help please..

I download a song from the Nokia/Highveld music store..

I tried to add the file to my library..

I get the.. ''One or more of the songs your are adding to iTunes are in the WMA format. iTunes will auto convert to AAC yada yada yada'' click convert..

So I click convert..

Then I get ''One or more of the songs you are adding to iTunes are in the Pretected WMA format and could not be converted.''


Boom.. done.. thanks for coming.. what the hell? I paid for the song.. I now have the DRM coz I paid for it so why can I not add it?

Is there a hack or another converter or an app I can use to get this song on my phone? Any help please..
 
I am happy that I got my Jailbreakable iPhone :)

I am sure someone will find a new exploit

why not buy in iTunes in stead?

Check info link below on creating a USA account in iTunes, then buy vouchers from www.mediawob.com, then buy tracks in iTunes, those are drm free btw

+1 I think majority of us in this thread use mediawob. Nokia Store - what a joke! I can't even access it in Safari on my MAC due to them using wma.

Nokia Music does not currently support the Apple Safari (Mac OS X) browser on your operating system

Wow! Google is soooo cooool....

Wey heyyyy!! Welcome to the wonderful world of DRM!!
Just wait until whatever service you purchased from eventually shuts down and decommissions their DRM servers - then nothing will be able to play those files back... yay for sanctioned thievery!

try http://www.maximuscards.com/

Marcforrest showed it to me last night, slightly cheaper than mediawob, and has a whole host of various cards, itunes, psn, xbox etc...

They $2 cheaper than www.mediawob.com and they use PayPal. Will give them a try once i'm finished with my current balance of $20! Think i'll use it on a remote application to connect to my mac.

Still trying to decide...

Will wait till Jaadu releases a version to work with Snow Leopard then i'll decide..
 
Just thought I'd do it legit for once.. Now I know why I don't..

Straight back to abusing my uncapped and just smashing the torrents through bitcomet...

try the itunes store route, it's legit the way it was meant to be, no drm, download straight on the phone, syncs down to the pc, syncs to other pc's via home sync, all this happens by itself, really is cool
 
did you ever find the solution

Hi, My Iphone has the same issue - ever find a way to activate the voicemail button

easiest workaround for drm is burn to (audio) disc and then re-rip.
