Windows 10: Remove DRM Protect from Music Files ripped through Windows Media Player

Hello.


I am a choreographer and spend lots of money in producing (copyrighted) music. I usually used to bring home studio music via CDs and rip them onto my computer using Windows Media Player. I transferred them all to an external hard disk then. Now, my older laptop is dead and my music is not playing on my newer computer. Did some research on the internet and found out DRM Protect was the culprit. Could anyone please help me removing the DRM? And why is such a feature turned on by default and not even told to the user?

Thank you.

My media player can't rip all of my songs.

Hi,

To guide you in the right direction, I need more information from the computer by answering the following questions:

• 
  Are you trying to rip from a CD?
  

• 
  What exactly happens when you try to rip the CDs, do you get any error?
  
• 
  What is the format of the files that you are trying to rip?
  

Your reply is very important for us to ensure a proper resolution.

Meanwhile, I suggest that you try the steps provided below and check.

This could be caused if the Media Player is library is referring to some of the locations that are not used on by the Media Player:

• Open Media Player and press the ‘Alt’ key on the keyboard to bring up the File menu.
• Click on File, ‘Manage Libraries’ and select ‘Music’.
• This will bring up a Window with Music library locations.
• Remove all the locations (not used) except the default location where you have the music
  saved.

Hope this helps in resolving the issue. If the issue persists
please get back to us with the above information to assist you accordingly.
