"The majority of my albums are in my Windows Media Player and I would like to transfer those albums to my new iPhone 3GS. Now I don't know how to. All I know is that WMA is not compatible with Apple iPod and iPhone. So how do I rescue my songs? I tried to use limewire to download free music but it is a mess."
If you meet the same problem, you got the right place! This tutorial is going to show you how to remove DRM from protected WMA and convert DRM protected WMA to MP3 for playback on Apple iPhone, iPhone 3G and the newest iPhone 3GS using [url=http://www.tuneclone.com]TuneClone Audio Converter[/url].

If the WMA files you are going to play on your iPhone are unprotected, you just select and drag them into iTunes Library and they should be automatically converted to whatever iPhone format you selected in iTunes preferences for importing.

If they are WMA files protected by DRM, it is not that easy. You need to use some software to strip the DRM off your WMA files and then convert the WMA files to the much more widely-supported MP3 format.
Note: As with any transcoding, the quality will go down. But if you've got a lot of protected WMA files you'd like to get on your iPod, this solution would do the trick.

In this tutorial, I'd like to show how to remove DRM from WMA files and convert the WMA files to MP3 format using [url=http://www.tuneclone.com]TuneClone Audio Converter[/url]. Let’s take a look at how it performs:

1. Settings at TuneClone



Download TuneClone and install it. After launching TuneClone, click the "Settings" button. In the pop-up dialog of "Options", you can specify the "Output Folder", "Output Filenames", "Output Format" (here we choose MP3), etc. for the output files.
Tip: You can get the output protection removed MP3 music folder by clicking the "Folder" button after the whole process.

2. Burning at Windows Media Player(WMP 11)

Create a new playlist and drag into it the WMA files you are going to enjoy on your iPod. After that, click the "Burn" button and select "Audio CD" from the drop-down list. On the right panel of "CD Drive", click "Next Drive" to locate the CD drive to TuneClone's Virtual CD Burner.



Then, drag the playlist you created just now to the "Burn List" and click the "Start Burn" button to start burning the playlist. While the burning gets started, TuneClone will automatically convert the WMA playlist to MP3 files. You can open the manager screen to show all the converted music files.

After you get the output MP3 files converted from the WMA playlist in your Windows Media Player, you can now begin to transfer the MP3 files to your iPhone 3GS with the sync of iTunes.
