How to virtually burn wma to mp3 with windows media player

Music songs downloaded from Windows Media Player are under DRM
protection. You can only play it back on the compatible device. In
order to enjoy them on incompatible devices, you have to remove the
protection mechanism and convert the music files. There is a simple
method to remove DRM from WMA within two steps:
1. Burn the protected WMA files to a CD.
2. Rip them off to your computer, then the DRM should be removed from
the WMA files.
But it's not very convenient and may wear out your CR-ROM. Also, it is
a time consuming process if you have a library of music files ready to
be converted.

'TuneClone' (http://www.tuneclone.com) is a unique audio converter
software. Compared with other audio converter programs, TuneClone
converts music files via a virtual CD Driver. All you need to do is
burn your playlist to TuneClone's virtual CD drive by using your media
player software, such as *iTunes*, *Windows Media Player*,
*RealPlayer*, *WinAMP*, etc. The key step to use TuneClone is to select
TuneClone's virtual CD-RW drive as CD burner and then burn your
playlist. Your music files will be automatically converted during the
burning process.

Below is the detailed tutorial about how to burn WMA playlist to
TuneClone's virtual CD drive with Windows Media Player:

Step 1. Download TuneClone from http://www.tuneclone.com and install
it.

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

Step 2. Set -Burn- option at Windows Media Player.

Launch Windows Media Player and click -Burn- button in the main window
to enable the burning function of Windows Media Player. From the
drop-down list, please tick -Burn- option if it is currently
unchecked.

The most important step is to choose the cd burner. Then the software
can convert the music files automatically. It is exceedingly easy when
you want to batch convert lots of files.

*Note:* Under Windows Vista, Windows Media Player 11 may not able to
choose the TuneClone's virtual CD burner.
