Getting IBX keys and a way to defeat MS WM-DRM 11.0.6000.7000

[Mac2492]

http://sharebee.com/e3c050a0

Okay, I modified the instructions to reflect the simpler method of using these tools. I actually left a modified version of "drmdbg.ini" in the folder that has NO PATHS. Instead, it just switched to "MakeDRM2Dir" value "0". This will prevent it from creating a DRM2 folder with the DRM2.key file inside. Instead, it simply creates DRM2.key inside the base directory.

If you can't even get the keys, this won't work for you. If you can get the keys, then this will make things easier. (But not as easy as sodapop's application! xP)

Again, please scan for viruses.

Also, I would like to thank Stream Recorder for giving me tips when I posted this on the forums.

[xxsodapopxx5]

^ That looks quite interesting. Good work. =)

Note: The instructions might be even simpler. Apparently, drmdbg exports the key files into a file called "DRM2.key". This file is placed in a folder called "DRM2" created in the drmdbg directory. Anyway... If this file is put in the same directory as freeme2, you don't even have to enter in the SID for the file you are trying to change.


ya you are right about the DRM2.key. It holds the key and the SID so you dont have to enter anything. Freeme2 does all the work then if its in freeme2's directory.

and thanks for the compliment... it was only just started like 2 days ago so ya... gonna tweak it a bit more before a real release.

[agreenbhm]

I changed the makedrmdir or w/e it's called value to 0, and still no luck. I have no idea what the problem with this is. I have a valid license for Yahoo, as I have for the past 1.5 yrs. Songs play fine on the PC. DRMDBG sees my indiv01.key. Just no output of drm2.key. Any ideas?

[xxsodapopxx5]

are you clicking multi scan? and are you point the *.wmv to the music directory? does windows media player open? and do songs play in windows media player after it is done scanning?

[Mac2492]

Ah... Are the songs in a separate folder? Sodapop has a point. You have to make sure that drmdbg is looking for the media in the right place. Once it finds the DRM-protected media, it'll start playing it (automatically). Once you validate your license, drmdbg should spit out the keys.

If you don't want to change the path to the *.wmv files in the ini, you should try dragging a song into the drmdbg directory and following the instructions from there.

All the MakeDRM2Dir setting does is tell drmdbg to create the DRM2.key file inside the same folder that it's in. (Instead of creating a "DRM2" folder, then placing "DRM2.key" inside it.)

If drmdbg can't even detect the keys for the song, then changing that setting won't really help you.

I'm not quite sure what the problem is. I've never had that problem before. All of my problems were related to the individualization keys missing or being located in weird areas. Once they loaded up, the program worked 100% for me.

[ADDD]

ADDD, There is no wmv ans wma files. Are files are asf format but never mind :)I can't believe you didn't get my point. Practice proved that codec in ASF is important. You can see it on your FM2 which cannot decipher wmv correctly.

[absolutesantaja]

You aren't the only one having a problem with yahoo music... I've been trying for the past several days to get drmdbg to pick up the keys for any of my songs. While I know this forum doesn't support it I've tried drmdbg on both purchases songs and subscription songs and it doesn't seem to make a difference... It sees my invid01.key and plays the song but it doesn't print out a key. I'm willing to try things if anyone has any ideas.

Thanks

I'll post the source code if you guys want also, its in c#.
Yes do so! post the source...

Thanx in advanced...

[agreenbhm]

well, i just put XP on a desktop I have. i tried using drmdbg (the 1/1/08 version) with Yahoo Music for WMP 9 and 11. no luck for either of them. Does the same thing: plays song, doesn't spit out keys. I had to run a repair of my OS b/c something didn't copy properly, and now i can't even open up Yahoo music. I've uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times but it keeps crashing on launch. IDK what the problem is, but i guess it doesn't really matter since i think we've determined that Yahoo has something special about it preventing DRMDBG from working. That sucks!

[thailer]

this is kind of like a beta type thing.... i havent versioned it or written any documentation for it, but as i said earlier its pretty self explanatory...

believe it or not rar'd its only 7kb.

http://rapidshare.com/files/87331513/unDRM.rar.html

I havent automated drmdbg as of yet, i plan to. but i believe the best part of this program is batch freeme2.

when freeme2 runs, it flies by super fast... the one time i did like 40 songs and it was like crazy blip of dos windows... im gonna try to hide those maybe and have my own progress bar.

oh and tell me anything thats wrong with it. will try to fix.

when im finished with it i will post source for all you cool kids to edit when i dont feel like it anymore.

have fun! :)

I must be doing something wrong. I can't get it to work... How about a quick read me or some steps that i need to take to get it to work?

thanks :)

Just installed XP SP2 on an old laptop. Burned all the updates to an .iso using "Offline Update". Installed WMP10 from an executable. Went to Windows update and picked up the few that were remaining...didn't install any optional WMP10 Updates. Used WMP10's "Napster Lite" Plugin to access my provider, not the full Napster Install. Bought a .99 cent track. 1.3 Fix worked, version was 11.0.5497.6285.

FINALLY i've had success with Yahoo, albeit not with DRMDBG, Vista, WMP 11, or 11.0.6000.7000.

I installed XP on my desktop (my laptop is my main machine), installed Yahoo, and then found a copy of Fairuse4wm 1.3. Smooth sailing from there.

Guys, please tell me why on earth do you buy DRM-protected music for .99 cents/track when you can buy DRM-free tunes at the same price or even less at iTunes+, eMusic, Amazon MP3,... (http://all-streaming-media.com/downloadable-audio-and-video/online-music-subscription-services-legal-music-download.htm)? I just don't get it.

This seem to be insane for me to buy lossy DRM removal software or to re-install Windows, learn how to use fairuse4wm, drmdbg, freeme2, drm2wmv. If you can't find the music you want... then obviously it is OK. Otherwise... just kill me 'coz I don't understand anything in this life.

[plonk420]

i don't see the point in buying lossy music PERIOD.









(unless you're dead set on giving the musician a few cents and/or can't find it in a physical medium elsewhere; case in point: bought MP3s of C*Quence - Endorphine (cuz i only have and could only find the vinyl) and Sleepthief's Send Me an Angel (because he kicks so much ass, and the single isn't out yet))

[Ajax_Undone]

Well because they prefer to Own all of what they have purchased... But if you look at it rationally why don't you stop paying for music and DDl a copy of Qtrax like whats mentioned on the home page of Doom9 and DDl free songs straight from the horses ass... (Qtrax is Owned by the RIAA)

Truth be known I don't know Either but its something to do...

Keeps me distracted... LOL

[Gordon D Webb]

I have a request + something that might help you all rolled into one...

Download (http://sharebee.com/6042e1bc)

Basically, I packaged drmdbg and FreeMe2 (the latest versions of both, so drmdbg is the January 1, 2008 version) and jotted down some quick instructions on how to use them from start to finish. (It starts at individualization and ends at freeing the DRM-protected content).

That's the "something that may help you". Now here's my request...

Can someone (preferably someone who hasn't even individualized his/her computer yet) please follow the instructions step-by-step and tell me if everything works out? I want to make sure that I didn't miss a step or write down a step incorrectly. I already did the first few steps a while back, so I can't verify that they are correct.

Thanks, and enjoy... At the same time. x,X

Oh, and I take credit for nothing other than the instructions. Even then, you're free to post the instructions wherever (with or without credits... I don't really mind) you want.


P.S. As always, scan for viruses (yes, I'm asking you to scan a file that I posted for viruses). I know that I'm trustworthy, but you don't. Stay safe. =)


For those who already have drmdbg and FreeMe2...


Please help me find any mistakes. ^,^

Thanks For this

It Works Perfectly

The reason I do is because I have a subscription from Yahoo. I don't purchase the music I have, I rent it. I know this is a touchy subject, but I've had my Yahoo subscription for over a year and a half and love it and don't plan on canceling it ever. If I were to ever cancel, I would do the "right thing" and delete the songs I downloaded and unDRM'd from Yahoo.

[Louis Cypher]

I did it as a test for the forum. I wanted to see if 6000.7000 was forced on you no matter what...it is in some instances (new Napster 4.1 full install on Vista), but not others (XP SP2 using Napster 3.xx WMP10 plug-in). I agree with the "Buy DRM Free" philosophy.

[sectroyer]

DRM is dying. There can be two reasons why MS didn't release a new version after 11.0.6000.7000 was cracked:
1) They are working on completely new drm "engine" (v12?)
2) They just don't care about drm and want to stop using it at some point.
I think the most reasonable cause is the second one :)

[StreamRipper]

MS DRM won't die! Subscription services only started to appear on the arena. I think there should be 2 different solutions: one for renting licenses and another one that should die.

[Ajax_Undone]

I agree the DRM is only useful for renting and in that regard it should be used just like late fees at the video store... DRM should only disable rented content...

But as for purchased Music they need to give use back our God given rights to put our media on anything we like...

[FredFredrickson]

You should never un-drm rented music, whether you're going to delete it or not. Posting such is against the rules.

That being said- the reason I use this on Yahoo music and not just buy tracks with amazon is because a subscription to yahoo music gets me purchased fully licensed tracks for $0.89.

[Ajax_Undone]

Walmart dose it at $0.88 :p

[Splatted]

Can anyone advise if they've had the same success using drmdbg and freeme2, with Windows XP SP3 installed? I'm thinking of upgrading very soon

[FredFredrickson]

FYI Yahoo music just announced they're dumping their custs to rhapsody. Any news unlocking rhapsody tracks?

[Ajax_Undone]

rhapsody uses WM-DRM... Same dust same pile no biggie...


SP3 hasnt been relesed yet. Do your self a favor and don't upgrade untill it reaches full realese not beta/RCx...

[winlinmac]

Rhapsody uses WM-DRM for rentals, but now they've moved to using only Helix DRM for purchases. Helix DRM is just encrypted AAC, similar to Apple's FairPlay DRM.

No one has yet broken Helix DRM, which could be why other stores are merging with Rhapsody.

[trendkill918]

Hey everyone,
I've done some reading and I've found a few posts in various places where people have the same problem as me, but I can't seem to find a solution. I had drmdbg and decryptit working fine for DRM removal of 11.0.6000.7000 on my old computer (running XP SP2). I have recently purchased a new computer because my old one died. Anyway, this new machine is running Vista home premium on it. The problem I'm facing is that drmdbg doesn't give me the keys for my songs to load into decryptit. The box next to "clear" remains blank. Has anyone found a way to make this work. I've seen some posts that say people have got it working on vista, but I did everything they say they did and it still doesn't work for me. Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

[agreenbhm]

what online music store are you using? Yahoo doesn't seem to work with 11.0.6000.7000

[StreamRipper]

Rhapsody uses WM-DRM for rentals, but now they've moved to using only Helix DRM for purchases. Helix DRM is just encrypted AAC, similar to Apple's FairPlay DRM.

No one has yet broken Helix DRM, which could be why other stores are merging with Rhapsody.
Purchased Rhapsody tracks can be burned to CDs. You can rip them using a regular CD ripping software or a virtual CD burning software like NoteBurner.

Still music subscription services are forced to offer music for PlayForSure devices, so they are forced to offer DRM-protected WMA tracks. And unfortunately DRM removal tools work fine with rented WMA files.

Considering the above mentioned and the fact that many music download services started offering DRM-free music, the switch to Helix DRM is not obvious.

Hi everyne,

I'm having problems using drmdbg under XP.
When I open it, the first box fills crrectly with 'C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\DRM\Cache\Indiv02.key v11.0.6000.7000', Media Player opens correctly, but I have no DRM2.key created.

I guess I made something wrong, but what ?

Thanks a lot

[trendkill918]

I'm using Ruckus. Everything worked fine on XP, but for whatever reason I can't get it working in Vista.

Holy crapsicles!

That works for me! The only thing that would make it nicer is if I wouldn't have to right click on each track as it advances and click "find album info" since DRMDBG adds each file to the playlist individually. Not sure if someone can modify/make a program for that, but for now, I'm quite happy.

[trendkill918]

Thanks Veniex! I don't know why but I guess I must have overlooked the part where it said "right click and select find album info" the first time I read that. I tried this tonight and it worked! Thanks again, and sorry about my careless reading.

I'm still of the Fairuse religion, so I'm eagerly awaiting the day when Viodentia posts the lates Fairuse update.

However...the genuis that figured out the whole "Find Album Info" deserves some sort of reward. I thought I had tried everything, and that's what finally killed my DRM blues!

Honestly, I want to know how you guys all learn this stuff!:thanks:

Is you IBX version 11.0.5721.5145 or is this just your players version... If the Ibx is 11.0.6000.7000 or better you can not decrypt the files with FU4WM... You need to use freeme2.exe and drmdbg.exe to get the files processed...

The "find album info trick" doesn't work for me on Vista Home Premium or Business, even when granting drmdbg admin rights. The box beside "clear" still remains blank, despite the player launching, playing the file, and displaying the filename in the box above the KID/SID box. Is there another way?

[Ajax_Undone]

11.0.5721.5145 is the version I see within WMP11 on HELP/ ABOUT screen

That does not give the IBX version just the player...

Check C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\DRM\


Go to tools=> Folder Options+
Click on the View tab...
In advanced settings Scroll down till you see folder labeled "Hidden Files and Folders" Select *show* Hidden files and folders

2 boxes down from that take the check out of the box "Hide Protected OS Files Click YES* then close the window...now you should see the DRM folder and all contents in it... Select the IBX and view properties...

Im suddenly having a problem with drm2wmv, ive been using it fine for awhile now but today i tried to de-drm a file but was told i dont have a SID for the KID. So i deleted my DRM2 file and re-ran drmdbg and the the kid/sid combo fine again. i tried drm2wmv and got the same message. any idea whats going on?

[BlueBadger]

Just wanted to add my experience to the list here.

I'm using Windows XP Pro with all critical system updates.

I had the 01/01/08 version of drmdbg working great with WMP9 and the WMP11 runtimes installed (can't remember why). IBX v11.0.6000.7000. I used freeme2 to do the business.

Then I signed up to 4od and I had to upgrade to WMP10, first uninstalling the WMP11 runtimes.
I could play the files but drmdbg would give the horrible errors readprocessmemory_error and writeprocessmemory_error, several times over. I tried previous versions of drmdbg and it would either fail completely, report the SID but not KID or report neither.

I then deleted my C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\DRM folder, upgraded to WMP11 (from MS site) and did the necessary to individualise the system. Still on IBX v11.0.6000.7000. I can now use the 01/01/08 version of drmdbg again with no errors and freeme2 does the business like it aught to. I did have to get new licenses for the few files I had though.

This may help some people out, it may not :)

[maciejr]

problem:
I'm not able to strip DRM (surprise ;-))

info & setup:
I run WinXP x64 (i.e. 2003 based) with Windows Media Player 11, drmdbg reports v11.0.6000.7000.
I tried both drmdbg v2008-01-01 and v2008-01-02 with the same results.
I downloaded DRM Removal Kit (Simplified) (i.e. drmdbg & FreeMe2) and replaced the drmdbg with v2008-01-02. I edited the ini accordingly:
[IndivBoxKey]
path=C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\DRM\Cache\Indiv01.key
[drmv2clt]
path=C:\WIN_OS\SysWOW64\drmv2clt.dll
I actually searched for "drmv2clt.dll" and found a second instance:
C:\WIN_OS\system32\dllcache.dll
I tried this file too, but drmdbg doesn't use this one properly and automatically reverts back to the old ini setting (yes, I made sure I actually saved the ini).

these are my DRM folders, I already deleted them and redownloaded my licenses once:
http://img397.imageshack.us/img397/831/drmfolderof3.png
http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/7448/drmcachefolderaf5.png

problem description:
- whenever I start drmdbg I get the dreaded "WriteProcessMemory_error" , WMP opens but doesn't play anything. all fields in the GUI stay blank.
- whenever I hit "Multi Scan", DRM info and the file path are displayed, WMP starts but gives the following error:
"Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file. For additional assistance, click Web Help."

can anybody help me to solve this?

You are my HERO!!! I've never been able to get drmdbg to work, ever until I followed your tutorial. It didn't work at first, but you said if it didn't work to put the song in the folder with drmdbg, and that did the trick!

I've been d/l'ing songs on an XP machine that i pretty much dedicated to downloading and undrm'ing music using FairUse4WM, but this is so much better than having to transfer files between machines. THANK YOU

So I having a bit of an issue removing DRM from Rhapsody tracks. Below is the versions of everything that I have.

XP Pro SP2
Rhapsody 4.0
WM 11.0.5721.5230
IBX 11.0.6000.6324
drmdbg 12.25.2007 and 1.1.2008

When I go through the process of running drmdbg, it finds the IBX key and then launches WM. I click on the MultiScan button the following errors happen.

ReadProcessMemory_error
WriteProcessMemory_error

I also do not get the expected drm2.key file. I'm guessing that it has to do with the above errors.


My question to everyone.

1) Is there anyway I can force IBX to upgrade to 11.0.6000.7000?

2) Is there a version of drmdbg that is compatible with 11.0.6000.6324?

3) Am I SOL since I'm using Rhaposdy?

4) What else am I missing?


I really appreciate it.

I've never used Rhapsody before, but I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that you can either d/l music in WMA or RA file formats, and that the default is RA unless you change your settings. This may not be much help, but make sure you are d/l'ing the tracks in WMA format.

[farmdwg]

I'm currently downloading them as WMA. Just trying to figure out why the errors are happening and why the key is not being created.

Thanks.

reinvidualized my system got ibx 6324 down

no matter where i tried still 6324

now i wouldn't mind this but drmdbg doesn't work fairuse doesn't work and i am effectively screwed

now whats the deal

are MS playing games or just a temp blip

[kqmaverick]

It looks like MS has patched DRM up again without changing the IBX version. My stupid ass let Windows Update install all the Updates. Luckily i still have a XP Virtual Machine i created just for DRMDBG that works.

I recommend to anyone who is still able to use DRMDBG be carefull about recent Windows Updates until a new version of DRMDBG is up.

[farmdwg]

get yourself a copy of WMP 11 Beta2.

[heyholetsgo]

I would love to. But always when I try to install WMP 11 Beta 2 Vista says I do have a newer Version.

So how can you install WMP 11 Beta 2 if you've already upgraded your WMP?

[farmdwg]

Get a VM and install XP. Vista won't allow you to install the old version.

[heyholetsgo]

I would rather want to crack that DRM ******* on Vista. Ist there no way at the moment?
How can I get rid of my WMP11 or downgrade it?

You dont need to downgrade anything. Just be sure you dont install Vista SP1 and you are eligible to follow my tutorial:

Well, SP1 is already installed. Does unistall help?

Yeah, it might help if you uninstall it.

[heyholetsgo]

Yeah, it might help if you uninstall it.

Hmm, I've read in this board somewhere, that it doesn't help.
Has anyone tried it before or does anybody know if somebody is working on a fix?

[etjr82]

i have a similar issue as someone posted above,

WMP:11.0.6000.6344
IBX 11.0.6000.6324
drmdbg 1.1.2008

I been trying to get the IBX 11.0.6000.7000 but it wont update. I did try to individualize from MS site. I have tried Fairuse4WM and that is a no go, as well as mirakagi. When i try to extract the keys both error out, fairuse4WM says 11.0.6000.6324 not supported.

Am i screwed? or is there a way to get the 11.0.6000.7000 again? that worked for me before but have not used this for a while so dunno whats up with it now.

[stesmi]

Currently it appears you are screwed.

They released IBX 6000.6324, then 6000.7000 and then went back to 6000.6324 but Fairuse4VM/mirakagi won't work with the "new" 6324, only the old one.

And noone seems to have found a way to either a) go back to 6000.7000 OR b) on a fresh install make it go to 6000.7000 and not continue to 6000.6324.

[karltpb]

Get yourself a copy of WMP 10 or WMP 11 beta2 and you're all set. The resulting IBX will be v11.0.5497.6285.

Make sure you remove the DRM folder located in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users before installing either version. Then head over to this (http://services.wmdrm.windowsmedia.com/indivSite) page to reindividualize your machine.

[stesmi]

Might work for others but won't for me since the media will pop up the "need to upgrade" page and I have to upgrade to wmp11 + patches. (This is regardless when I install the license itself).

[karltpb]

I just did it in a virtual machine with XP SP3 and had no problems whatsoever. http://img384.imageshack.us/img384/5994/nenaujb3.gif

Edit: Just came to my mind, did you reindividualize your system using the link my above post before playing any DRM-protected files? It won't ask you to upgrade your player or install any updates if you do it through the webpage.

[stesmi]

For me that's not the issue, it's the issue of the media from this specific place not playing on an older player than WMP11+patches. It won't even play on stock WMP11, it will pop up the update page and won't go forward.

I don't know if that's the same page I've used previously to reindividualize my IBX. I'd have to check. I got the link from these forums though.

[karltpb]

Well I've never had any such file which required me to upgrade my player, so I don't really have a clue. :(

Yes, what you said will work for removing DRM. Using a Microsoft Virtual PC is a good tool when you accidently updated your Vista to SP1 or your XP to SP3. Doing so (updating to SP1 / SP3) will change your IBX version, thus disabling you from removing the DRM effectively...

What operating system did you use on your virtual machine?

[karltpb]

I never installed any service packs after installing windows. I used the SP3 integrated image from MSDN to setup the virtual machine. I'm not sure what would be the consequences of installing SP3 after installing windows. All I know is I had WMP 9 after a clean install of XP.

You are right. The "latest" IBX is 11.6000.6324. This is a FIX enforced by music sites. I know because I was doing fine until Yahoo FORCED me...yes, it will not let you play anything...to upgrade. Upgrading "updated" to the new IBX. The ironic part is that they are purposely using .6324 since all drm fix sites say .6324 and below works. They are trying to fool people that their IBX version is .6324. The Microsoft INDIV site will NOT upgrade to .7000 since that DOES NOT EXIST ANYMORE. All music sites will follow these guidelines...so we have to wait till the next fix.

Even if you roll back to WMP 10 some music sites WILL NOT RUN unless WMP 11 is on your compu...so that sucks too!!!

[vulc4n]

damn. This sucks.

[MusicNerd1204]

Hey all! It's me again. I need help from the masters.

After about three months of functioning DRMDBG, and FreeMe2 (With someone's freemehelper thingie, the one where you use the file's properties to get DRMDBG to spit out the sid)

My DRMDBG quit on me. I can get the SID's out of DRMDBG, but when I go to run the file throuugh Freeme2, it only recreates 60% of the file. Why is this??


Is any one else having the same problem?

Thanks
~MN

[Ajax_Undone]

It sounds as if the file is corrupt. Re-download it and try again... If it still doesn't work then based on the "thingies" info you gave I will need more info to help you out...

1 what version of ibx you have (I assume 6000.7000)
2 what version of windows are you running (XP or Vista)
3 what version of media player are you using (MP10 MP11)
4 what version of drmbg are you using (The date at the top of the app)
5 what version of freeme2 are you using (if the latest then never mind)

[etjr82]

do any of you happen to know if this "new" 11.6000.6324 IBX is also going to WMP10? i have WMP10 still and have that IBX version after doing a a clean install yesterday because HD died. I went to Indiv. site and updated that and tried using Mirakagi / Fairuse4wm and its not working.

Mirakagi outputs
Mirakagi starts, code version 0.9

and FairUse4WM outputs

Is there any way of getting drmdbg to work, or anything that works from a clean install?

WMP10 version shows 10.00.00.4040
Under Win XP pro
11.6000.6324 IBX

Any way to get 11.0.6000.7000 one?

Get yourself a virtual machine image of XP and use the default wmp9 or wmp10, individualize and never ever update the virtual machine's version of wmp.

Get yourself a virtual machine image of XP and use the default wmp9 or wmp10, individualize and never ever update the virtual machine's version of wmp.

Setting up a virtual machine just to undrm seems a bit of a chore considering the undrm software WAS working without having to do that, at least that is what all the web pages that explain how to install mirakagi and fairuse4wm 1.4 fix 2 on Vista say.

So can anyone using Yahoo Music confirm for sure, if you roll back WMP to an older version, say 10 beta 2 on Vista, Yahoo Music will still force the IBX update to the 6324 version that breaks all the undrm software. Or will you be okay as long as you avoid and WMP upgrade or any patch that updates the IBX? I'm trying to install a Vista machine that doesn't have any existing drm media on it so deleteing the drm directory and re-individualizing is no big deal. I just don't want to waste any more time on this.

But it sounds like to me even if you revert to WMP 10, when you individualize, the MS site pushes that new 6324 IBX right? Do you have to go all the way back to WMP 9 to avoide the IBX update? And if so, does it not run on Vista I assume?

[etjr82]

I have an xp sp2 disk ill try the vmware thing. Any provider still working with that and wmp9? that has a decent collection of videos and music? and when i individualize wmp9 what ibx will i get and what should i use drmdbg or Fairuse4wm with mirakagi?

[sonicbox]

[spotter]

btw, for those interested, I just installed server 2003 in a vm, which comes with wmp10. Installed yahoo music (involved hacking the msi with orca to let it install to ignore the version of server), and fairuse4wm works fine with it.

However, I'm trying to get some content that only will authenticate in vista to get the DRM removed, and I'm having trouble.

I can install WMP9/10/11b2, but that doesn't seem to help me.

If I don't individualize, I can play the content, but fairuse4wm doesn't see any ibx files.

I I do individualize, I get the "new" 6324 ibx.

any ideas?

[mybsides]

Currently it appears you are screwed.

They released IBX 6000.6324, then 6000.7000 and then went back to 6000.6324 but Fairuse4VM/mirakagi won't work with the "new" 6324, only the old one.

I know of a way to get back to 6000.7000, but the problem is that a lot of content providers (and their software) force the user to update or they cannot download or view/play files. The rollback would be successful but most software has already been updated to check IBX version from the start.

If you're still interested in experimenting, let me know....

[spotter]

I'm interested in getting vista to a version that would work with fairuse, even if its not the most recent. Can test in vmware (rollback disks are nice for this sort of thing)

[Whocaresit]

Any idea How to DRM-Remove (Latest) Ruckus WMA's? :confused:

I would be grateful if you would share with us the way to get back to 6000.7000

Well my PC crashed and I had to reload my software. I'm trying to rebuild my music library and was using Yahoo Music and upgraded to Rhapsody since they are discontinuing Yahoo music. But when installing Rhapsody, it wants to install Windows Media 11 Runtime. I figure I'm screwed as far as using fairus4wm anymore. Anyway to install an old copy of Rhapsody that will work fine with WMP 10 that I can avoid being forced to upgrade so fairuse4wm will still work or do I need to switch music subscription services?

[StreamRipper]

The latest 2009-01-10 FairUse4WM DRM-Remover Fix by milOtis works like a charm (although it requires to delete the DRM folder so you need to make sure you can re-acquire licenses)
