Microsoft WM-DRM and IBX 11.0.6000.6324

[mkanet]

I think its time to give up... Even if there's an easy solution again later... it will end up breaking again after another update... Its time for me to install tunebite. :(

[Ajax_Undone]

Its ok the house always wins right... But that doesn't mean the house can't get robbed... LOL

PS: I would use SoundTaxie... Just a suggestion...

[mkanet]

I'm curious why you would use SoundTaxie over Tunebite. The only thing I remember about SoundTaxi was it blue-screening a rock solid stable XP machine when I used it. I when I did google searches, I found people were having the same or similar problems... just very bad programming I guess.

The 'lossy' DRM removal tools that are available don't actually remove DRM from your file. What they do is play your file, capture the analog audio during playback, and create a new file. Its a digital -> analog -> digital conversion, and can be of noticibly lower quality. Of the possible ways to remove DRM, this is the poorest choice available.

I guess I don't understand why so many people are having so much trouble with this. I know FU4WM was a great tool. Unfortunately, it appears at this point to be abandonware. We all need to acknowledge this and move on. Why bother downgrading to a previous IBX when there are currently other tools that work with the current version? It's a lot more work (and risk to your system) than simply learning a new tool.

I know people are going to do what they think is easiest for them, but for the newbies out there who may be getting confused, there is absolutely no reason to downgrade, mess with files, or anything like that. You can if you want, and alot of people seem to want to, but you're likely just causing yourself more headaches than necessary if you go that route.

It actually makes me wonder if there isn't a campaign of misinformation going on in an attempt to confuse people into thinking this is just way too complex and either giving up, or going with a lossy solution.

This is really very simple, theres no reason to make it any more complex than it has to be.

Its a digital -> analog -> digital conversion, and can be of noticibly lower quality.

This is only half right.

It is not a D-A-D conversion unless its going through a DAC. In other words, unless you are running a cable from an output to an input.

It is actually ripping a stream (digitally) and re-encoding the file.

As it is a transcode (or re-encode) it does lose quality. But not because of DA conversion.

Yes, you're right. I was oversimplifying. The main point is that using a lossy mechanism to remove DRM is a very poor choice when lossless mechanisms exist.

[mkanet]

I think you're pointing out the obvious in this thread... anyone who's part of this thread already knows the difference. Convenience plays more of a factor than some people realize... and the loss in quality is insignificant to some people.

Hi, I'm using FairUse4WM + IBX 11.0.5497.6285 + WMP11Final.

When I double click the song file, it plays nicely, but when I fired up FairUse4WM and hit 'Recover Keys', it reports

Extraction in progress on "Indivbox.key" 11.0.5497.6285 -- Please wait.
Phase 0 : Blocks: 1331 Large 6 Small, Errors: 0,0 Candidates: 5,3,2
Unable to read key store: "v2ksndv.bla".

Can anyone help me, please??

P.S. I'm running WinXP SP2

[Scarpad]

When using Something Like Tunebite how much of a hit do you suffer quality wise if you use High Speed Dubbing vs real time.

I think its about the same, I really hate tunebite, sometimes it make songs song like they are almost in a different key. I've heard that you can improve the quality if you have a better sound card but as your question goes I haven't noticed any difference.

If you are using FairUse4WM-1.3Fix-2 and Mirakagi, it should work. I am using WMP 11 beta 2 with "Indivbox.key" 11.0.5497.6285. I know it works with Rhapsody 4.
I am also running Windoze XP SP2.

[mysekurity]

PopMishima: You need to use Mirakagi to find your keys, not FU4WM's built-in keyfinder, as that doesn't work with the new keys.

[eajacobs]

Worked perfectly for me. Give this a shot if you're a Rhapsody user who can roll back to WMP 10.

Fellow Members,
In my past few posts I have been trying to find a way to use Rhapsody with IBX Version: 11.0.6000.7000.
This is because to accept the Rhapsody update, you end up with IBX Version: 11.0.6000.7000 installed in your DRM folder.

I may have stumbled upon a fix, I'm not going to try to duplicate it, but see if it works for you.
I am now running Rhapsody 4 with IBX Version:11.0.5497.6285:p

Here is what I accidentally stumbled on that seems to work.
1. Accept the forced Rhapsody update.
2. Open the control panel/add remove software. Remove every reference, including updates, that references WMP 11 and roll back to WMP 10
3. After rollback, check the DRM folder. If IBX Version: 11.0.6000.7000, Delete the DRM folder and upgrade as published many times in this forum. If IBX Version: 11.0.5497.6285,
leave it alone.
4. Without deleting the DRM folder, upgrade WMP10 to WMP 11.
I had a copy of WMP11 beta2 that I used. WMP11 final might also work but I don't want to take a chance disturbing my setup now.:)
5. Check to see if Rhapsody 4 will open.
6.If it opens check the DRM folder and if the version is before IBX Version: 11.0.6000.7000; then mirakagi and fairuse4wm should work as before.

Good Luck!!!

Please report your success.

I *love* the new 12/25/07 drmdbg :-). I can use it and drm2wmv on songs individually. I have downloaded Automate unDRM but I get the following error when I try to use it:

Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file

It's not a problem with WMP playing the file (in general). It plays fine under drmdbg and extracts the keys

Any ideas? What automation utility do you use?

[Ajax_Undone]

eajacobs success on Napster 4 as well... Fairuse4wm has been revived whoa'

[wordupdoc]

Worked perfectly for me. Give this a shot if you're a Rhapsody user who can roll back to WMP 10.

How do you Upgrade?

[eajacobs]

How do you Upgrade?

the upgrade just refers to the microsoft "individualization" process.

http://go.microsoft.com/FWLink?LinkID=34506

[wordupdoc]

Any link to Win Media Player 11 beta or 2 beta?

[odyssy]

So I think I'm in a bit of a bind here.. upgraded to WM11 because I wanted to be able to stream divx to my XBox 360. Now I try to unencumber some Napster tracks (haven't tried this in months..) and the old standby of fairuse4wm and mirakagi don't work.

indivbox.key version is 11.0.6000.7000
WMP version is 11.0.5721.5230
Napster version is 3.8.1.4 (latest, as of now)

Is there any way to make this all work together? I don't want to lose the capability to stream to my xbox..

[sectroyer]

You are doomed you have 11.0.6000.7000 fairuse4wm will not work for you :D

[StreamRipper]

You are doomed you have 11.0.6000.7000 fairuse4wm will not work for you :D
what about your freeme2 and many lossy DRM removel tools :)

[sectroyer]

I was refering to his idea of using FU4WM :)

[Mod32]

I don't know if this is the right thread... if it's not please move & post link but I was wondering if anyone can tell me if & how to backup licenses assuming there's no hardware changes & I just want to format & setup windows using the same usernames, cd key etc.

New drmdbg and it works with Vista SP1 and latest IBX

It's been a while since I've set drmdbg up, and I'm having a little trouble getting it to work the way it used to for me. Do I need to go back to WMP10 for this (I've got WMP11 now). I'm using Windows XP (in a virtual machine).

Thanks!

[Ajax_Undone]

Should work on Vista... With newer IBX 11.0.6000.6324 and 6000.7000. Should work. Start MEdia Player then start app..

[srp336]

Does it need vista? I'm using XP with WMP rolled back to 10 and the "new" IBX .6324. When I launch the app and hit Multi Scan, it opens the first file and plays it. I can close the WMP window and I get a key in the drmdbg window and then it plays the second song. If I close this WMP window, it closes the drmdbg app too.

I've run drmdbg Multi Scan and it's gone through and gotten keys from all of the files. Then I would run DecryptIt from Automate Undrm 2.0. Do I need a specific version of WMP10?

Thanks!

[srp336]

Has anyone gotten this new drmdbg to work with any version of faireuse4wm?

[appleoooo]

hmm.. Tried this new version on Windows Vista and Media Player 11, and actually got SID keys through DRMDBG... But when i try to use this new key through freeme2, the song that is outputed winds up being 2 seconds of random noise. The previous versions of drmdbg dont even get my keys anymore, so at least this is a wonderful good start. if you need more techincal information to help diagnose, just ask. :thanks:

[srp336]

I think that's a little farther than I have gotten. What version of the IBX stuff are you using? I thought for a while I had the newer .6324, but it's actually something like .8004, which I don't think this new version even supports.

When I get a moment, I'm going to try reinstalling everything from scratch...

[appleoooo]

I did have the new .6324, but when i deleted the "DRM" folder, and re-individualized, the ibx went back to good o' 11.0.6001.8000. But something for me is obviously wrong, since the keys i get are wrong.. I havent heard of this new .8004 version, did it come in an update from the program you buy songs from?
Edit: Just tried getting the keys from another song, and the SID turned out to be the same as the other song, which is definitly a problem, since every song has a different SID.. hmm.. does anyone have any suggestions?

[srp336]

Hmmm... I was going from memory on the .8004... it's at home and I'm at work right now. I might be mis-remembering.

[Rose@->]

I can't even download the flipping thing. All I can see are boxes, some of which are blue so I click on one and get another page of boxes and so on...
Anyone got a link and an idiot guide for the 03/03 version of drmdbg?

I should probably do a quick scan for spyware etc... On the plus side I didn't end up on some bizarre japanese freaky porn site!

[appleoooo]

ok. I uploaded it to mediafire. I dont think DRMDBG is that bad, so hopefully i dont get in trouble.. Should i ask for permission? idk.. well, heres the link to the file, without the password http://www.mediafire.com/file/ovynowumnom/drmdbg.zip... hope this works for you...

[greeksurfer1]

Hey guys,

So I used to use the fair4use program with my old laptop. But now that I've got my new one I tried everything I could to get fair4use to work, and now I eventually am stuck with 11.0.6000.8001.

Any luck with that version?

[a5091300]

You're so nice!

Thx for your sharing!

[srp336]

Has anyone looked at the google translations of the japanese/chinese/korean pages on drmdbg 2009/03/03 and the .8000 ibx? It looks like it might work somehow, but I haven't found a page where I can follow the translation enough to understand the method...

[greeksurfer1]

Hasn't everyone been updated to .8001?

nm, my other laptop has .8000

Could you post a link to the page you are referring to?

[srp336]

I could probably find a page or two again. I just did a google search for "drmdbg 2009/03/03" and did a "Translate this page" on the links with all the funny characters.

[greeksurfer1]

To tell you the truth, I think Microsoft got ahead of everybody this time. They couldn't keep allowing people to take their content and remove the drm as easily as it was being done.

I'm using Microsoft Zune Marketplace, and I don't believe you can even play drm protected music on a computer without the IBX components being updated to >.8000. Tried many programs posted in this board, fresh windows installs, etc but nothing works. Until a computer scientist can come up with something, everyone's stuck. Sucks.

It was good while it lasted.

[HogMan]

Oh, well; guess it was a good thing I put my newest Digital Copy file on my laptop. This drmdbg & FreeMe2 took care of my older Digital Copy & Amazon Unbox files (all purchased) on my Vista Home Premium desktop which still had .6324; but the newer Digital Copy on my Vista Home Basic laptop wouldn't give up its keys. That's fine with me; I just wanted to move the pre-laptop Digital Copy files to the laptop since my desktop can play the original Blu-ray--moving the Unbox files too was icing on the cake. (I freed my earlier WM-DRM files with the last incarnation of Mirakagi/FairUse4WM; I use the "sly" ;) way to crack BD/BD+ DRM.)

[Tvlman]

Sorry but I only get "file removed" when I go to the file site, Tao.

[Rose@->]

Cheers appleoooo for that link - I realise it's 2 months late but I only just realised I didn't reply...

[Vladimir356]

so, does this still work with the newest zune software? i just bought a song and i want it on my iphone.

im on windows 7 but i have several computers, so i can get vista or xp if it matters.

Yeah, I'm using Zune Marketplace as well. I'm trying to find a 11.0.6001.8000 fix for fairuse4wm...
