New software removes DRM protection in seconds
By George Gardner
Digital Rights Management (DRM) simply doesn’t work, and it makes media play on external devices a huge hassle. I would certainly be in full support of a system that worked; a system that would not prohibit media play on particular, external devices, or expire after a given length of time. A new software, SoundTaxi V2, changes all that.
Ramka announced today the second version of their highly popular windows-based software for removing copy restrictions on downloaded media. SoundTaxi Version 2 allows users to play downloaded music on any device, without having DRM compatible hardware, and it’s substantially quicker than its predecessor.
Released first in 2005, SoundTaxi’s conversion method allows users to play DRM protected music and audio books while recording them simultaneously.
The software supports copy-protected formats such as WMA, MP3, WAV, SND, AIF, OGG, AAC, MP4, M4P, and M4B. SoundTaxi V2 gives users the ability to record multiple audio files in parallel for super-quick conversion.
In a comparison test, six 4-minute WMA music tracks with DRM were loaded into SoundTaxi and SoundTaxi V2. SoundTaxi V2 reduced the processing time from 24 minutes to just 1 minute; pretty impressive to say the least.
SoundTaxi V2 boasts the highest level of product compatibility with Windows XP and Vista; its easy-to-use interface allows users to quickly choose which files they wish to convert and set various settings such as compression levels. Audio files can be quickly converted and copied to Apple iPods and other devices with just the click of a mouse.
A free demo of SoundTaxi V2 can be downloaded at http://www.soundtaxi.info.
