Nokia's "Comes with Music" DRM cracked
Rejoice, those of you with a "Comes with Music" subscription. You'll now be able to strip the DRM off the tracks that, remember, you've paid for - and use them whenever and wherever you like. In all honesty, I'm surprised it took this long.
The software you'll need is Tunebite. It costs £17.50 (or free, see below), and works by playing back the song at a very high speed, and then copying the data that comes out onto an MP3 file. It's a bit like holding up a tape recorder next to your speakers, but retaining all the quality of the original file.
It'll run at up to 54x speed, meaning that a 4 minute song will take less than five seconds to encode. Of course, running it through a collection of thousands of songs will take a little longer, and you can bet that Nokia will now be keeping an eye out for people
