Create a playlist in WMP of all the files you wish to convert.

Open WMP and Audacity, but completely close out all other programs and disable any audio alerts on your computer.

(Note: later versions of WMP will automatically split long track listing into discs based on length, eliminating the need to repeat step 6.)

Repeat steps 4 through 10 until all necessary files have been converted.

When the disc has finished burning, reinsert it into the drive.

Select the files you want to convert from the library and drag them to the burn list pane.

Click the Burn tab at the top of the screen.

Select MP3 from the drop down menu, deselect all the boxes below that, adjust the bit rate to your liking, and click OK.

Right-click anywhere on the frame of the WMP window and select Options, then select Rip Music.

Incidentally, all scenarios mentioned can be used for converting protected AACs, just use iTunes rather than Windows Media Player. It can save you countless hours plus, you can use it to record audio streams from other sources as well.

This software costs $40, but it'll be worth every penny if you have a large number of tracks to convert because it automatically splits and tags the songs as you record. One note before we begin: This tip is made to keep additional costs to you as low as possible, but if you have more than $50 worth of tracks to convert, I highly recommend investing in Replay Music. There are two ways to go about the process, and while neither is particularly complicated, it's always helpful to have some steps to follow.

No matter what the reasons, conversion from a protected format to an unprotected one takes some effort.

Maybe you don't want to depend on the parent company continuing to back up the licenses going forward, or perhaps you shunned the iPod years ago but the appeal of the 3G iPhone is far more alluring.or maybe you just want all your music in one, universally-supported format. Now that nearly every popular online music store is selling a la carte tracks in the unprotected MP3 format, it's high time to clean house and convert those legally-acquired-yet-unfortunately-DRM-saddled WMAs.
