How to Remove DRM from Nokia Music Store and Comes with Music Service?

Apple's iTunes has been advancing on the way of DRM-free for its online music service, while the Nokia Music Store, another mirror of iTunes' business model, now is lagging behind the prevailing current of digital music service once again. Here this tutorial is going to talk about how to remove DRM from Nokia Music Store and Comes with Music Service.

Love Affair between DRM and Nokia Music Store

1. All the music downloaded from Nokia Music Store is DRM-protected WMA files.

They allow you to play a protected track and transfer it to a registered Comes With Music device with an unlimited number of times.However, to burn tracks to a CD or to transfer tracks to an unregistered compatible mobile device, you must buy the tracks from Nokia Music Store.

2. Your usage right is also confined as what the Nokia Music Store authorized:

The audio file format of the tracks in Nokia Music Store is Windows Media Audio (WMA) with a bit rate of 128kb/s or 192kb/s. The tracks are protected by Windows Media Digital Rights Management (WMDRM). Tracks encoded at 192kb/s are bigger files than those encoded at 128kb/s, but of better quality.

When you download music, you receive a license to play the track as many times as you want and burn or transfer the track a limited number of times. For the number of licenses on a track in Nokia Music Store, click Rights&Information next to the track in Nokia Music Store.

3. "Comes with Music" is actually "Comes with DRM"

The bundled sale of Nokia N96, N95 8GB, N85, N79, XpressMusic 5800 / 5320 / 5310 / 5220 and the "Comes With Music Service" is only Nokia's another promotion tricks to grab more market share. The music downloaded through Comes with Music cannot be transferred to other devices or burn to CD without license.
