Convert .aa files with MelodyCan

[Nhi445T]

When you buy music from an online store, the copy-protection scheme may not allow you to play it on your portable player or to manage your music library with that player. I know good converter MelodyCan that can easily converts audio and video files that are DRM protected.
Conversion speed for .aa files is 3x and also number of conversions at a time is 8-16 files. Good quality, high speed as for me it`s good converter.

Does it convert Rhapsody music? Have you tested it with *.rax format. I haven't seen good Rhapsody converter yet.

You know, I will forward this thread to Dang, he used to work for Real Networks, so he might know what to do.

Thanks! :)

To be honest, I haven't kept up with RN technologies since I left. I do know that Real's security algorithm they use for DRM is very advanced (my cousin worked on it.) :)

Rhapsody is a whole other ball game as well. If I remember correctly, when you save a track on Rhapsody you aren't saving the whole file.

Sure their system was modified. now they offer rax, wma and you can listen 20+ songs directly from the site (plug-in required)..
drm system.. I'm unconscious, but melodycan program seems to record the file making mp3 copy and that's the way it unlocks files!

[dang]

ah, so does it record while you listen?

I am using Tunebite (http://audials.com/en/remove_drm/index.html) as a converter, basicly the same real-time recording, but much faster because of it's optimized recording speed.

High speed? Melodycan (http://www.melodycan.com) rerecords 10-12 audio books in parallel for me.. very nice :dunno

[emma_demma]

well, that sounds great.But got a question though:if u wanna convert more file sin parallel, doesn't that mean that the more files u have the smaller the conversion speed would be?

[Selinary]

I personally use TuneClone , regarding it as a nice converter,smart,easy & fast.

[emma_demma]

Cool, although checked it out and works only for audio files and I was rather interested in smth that works for converting both audio and video files.

[emma_demma]

Do any of these also work with ogg files?

[ECA]

WY IN HELL would you want to convert the BEST format, into something less?
KEEP the ogg, format and find a player that will USE IT.
There should be a converter, for Ogg to AAC, or even WMA(VBR)..

[emma_demma]

well, actually I wanted to convert a couple of files to ogg..And a good reason that I would want to convert some files into smth less would be that I can't play 'em on my crappy mp3 player, for example.:eww

[dang]

I believe both windows media and realplayer have plugins for OGG.

For realplayer (and Windows Media Player) wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Media_help_(Ogg)) has a great page on how to install the applications and get OGG going (along with Theora video).

Another set of instructions for WiMP:
Instructions for Windows Media Player (http://windowsxp.mvps.org/ogg.htm)

Once you have them setup, you just need to import the OGG files into their library, then convert them.

Emma,
Converting from mp3 to ogg, is worthless.
YOU CANT ADD what has already been lost.

[emma_demma]

yeah, that didn't really cross my mind.Thanks.

For me is Tunebite, I use this soft for a while and does a great job for me cause it converts both audio and video files, protected and unprotected and the supported formats are about 60... The most important is that it has a good file's quality after conversion.
