Burn files to CDGet a CD rewritable disk if possible (as you can delete and reuse after the process is complete). Insert the disk into the CD drive. Open Windows Media Player. Select “Burn audio CD” from the file menu. Select the protected WMA files that you want to convert. Drag and drop them into the Windows Media Player window. Select “Start Burn” and leave the computer until it has finished burning the audio files to the CD.Rip files to your computerSelect the “Rip” (meaning “copy”) tab at the top of the player. There will be a list of audio files on the CD. Ensure that all of the files you want are selected. Click “Rip Music.” Select “Rip Format” and choose MP3. Determine where you want your new unprotected MP3 files to be saved. Click “Start Rip” to begin the process. Leave the computer alone until the process is complete.
