ACTUALLY free way to remove Apple Music DRM

11 Upvotes

There is literally no point to a DRM remover that you have to pay money for. Does anyone have a free, unlimited, no-virus, unlimited tool for removing DRM from Apple Music that doesn't involve me doing it by hand?

How exactly does itunes DRM removal work? Is it lossy or lossless

8 Upvotes

There are a variety of DRM removal software for itunes movie and TV files, such as tuneskit, which converts the DRM M4V file into a regular MP4. Many of them tout 40x lossless conversion speed etc.

So are these claims true? Does anyone know how exactly the DRM removal process work?

Do these programs actually go into the M4V file and remove only the DRM data, leaving the video/audio/subtitle data intact, which occurs at 40 times the playtime of the file.

Or are these programs essentially playing back the M4V file at 40x speed and re-encoding it into a MP4 container file, sort of a digital version of how we used to use two VCRs to copy a VHS tape? In this case it would be a lossy method.

iTunes changed their DRM

8 Upvotes

Before I was able to convert movies using older software using tuneskit. But now when the movie is completed it’s a black screen with weird noises. This is mostly an announcement as it seems now there is no way to remove DRMS from iTunes.

2015 Top 5 DRM Removal Tools Review

7 Upvotes

Nowadays, you don't have to go to the cinema to see a film because you can also do this at home. iTunes has become the second cinema for us to enjoy popular movies. All kinds of movies are provided on iTunes Store and what you need to do is just to download and play it on your computer - of cause you need to pay for the movie first. Most iTunes users wonder if they can put the movies downloaded from iTunes to their Android devices or other video players. And to our disappointment, Apple prevents us from transfering them to other devices except for Apple devices.

In this review, we would like to focus on five pieces of DRM video converting software. All software reviewed below can be used to remove DRM from iTunes videos. For each DRM removal tool, we will cover its conversion theory, main features, compatible OS, supported input and output formats, pros and cons, etc. with the intent to help you find the best software to get all your iTunes videos DRM free.

2.

Conclusion:

Best DRM Video Converter on Mac: NoteBurner M4V Converter Plus for Mac

As we can see from above, most DRM video or audio converters only run on Windows platform. For a number of Mac users, they also need to remove DRM from those protected audio or video files. Compared with Pavtube ChewTune for Mac, NoteBurner M4V Converter Plus for Mac has showed more obvious advantages with perfect compatibility with almost all the iTunes version and Mac OS. Besides, NoteBurner M4V Converter Plus for Mac supports converting iTunes rentals and keeping original 5.1 auido tracks & subtiles while ChewTune for Mac is not able to do so.

Best DRM Video Converter on Windows: NoteBurner M4V Converter Plus for Windows & Aimersoft DRM Media Converter

According to the key features of above top 5 DRM video Converters, it is hard to immediately find out which one is better than the others. Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages. Aimersoft DRM Media Converter seems to supports the most input file formats - almost all of the DRM audio and video formats are supported to be converted. But, the conversion theory would affect the converting speed and output quality. It is believed that the deciphering is better than recording mode with faster converting speed and higher quality of output videos. Thus, NoteBurner M4V Converter Plus for Windows is superior to Aimersoft DRM Media Converter in converting speed and output quality. Also, iTunes rentals can only be supported to convert by NoteBurner M4V Converter Plus.

DRM Removal from Itunes

6 Upvotes

I have a LOT of old itunes music stuck with protections (I've already tested redownloading songs and they download with DRM), and I'm trying to consolidate my music library outside of itunes. Theoretically since burning music to cd removes drm can I use a virtural cd tool like daemontools to "burn" my music and then redownload those songs?

Anyone Used This?

6 Upvotes

Anyone Used DRMARE for drm removal on iTunes files? I'd like to get it as I have a lot of tv & movies I'd like to be able to watch through Plex, I only have a couple of concerns:

  1. If anyone has used it how safe from viruses is it? (Don't want to screw up my pc)

  2. Are they a legit company? Don't mid paying for a programme but don't want to fall foul of a scam or worse ID theft.

Don't know wether I can trust the site's testimonials on there site & Google hadn't really helped much.

Does Calibre and Epubor just not work anymore to convert Kindle, or am I doing something wrong?

6 Upvotes

Hello, and good evening. I discovered Calibre several years ago, often using it to convert e-manga I bought through kindle so I could share them with my friends, and usually worked without an issue. Sometimes textbooks for college didn't work out, but almost all books and mangas I could easily convert without problem.

However, after several years of not using it, I just can't get Calibre to work. I have a Windows 10, 64 bit. I have installed DeDRM, the newest version, using the built-in installer. When I try to convert I get the same message: "This book has DRM. Cannot convert. This book is locked by DRM. To learn more about DRM and why you cannot read or convert this book, click here." I have uninstalled and reinstalled both Calibre and Kindle, even deleting all my downloaded books so I could try with a fresh install. Nothing.

I tried out a cracked version of Epubor as well. While it does recognize all my installed kindle books, I get errors saying "Kindle DRM removal failed!" I went to their online support website which recommends this; "Notice: If you have already done the steps but also cannot remove Kindle DRM, please delete the synced Kindle books at first, then re-sync them again to ensure the keys are generated correctly. And in some cases, users even need to re-install Kindle for PC/Mac to solve the issue." I have done this. It won't remove DRM no matter what I do. Under the pencil and the X it says "Kindle DRM" next to a lock.

Does anyone have any idea of what might be wrong? Or do these programs just not work with Amazon's new protection?

Trouble removing DRM from ebook

6 Upvotes

I downloaded an ebook with AZW4 file type. I am trying to remove the DRM using Calibre and DeDRM pluggin. In Calibre when I go to Preferences->Plugins->File Type Plugins->DeDRM

I select "Kindle for Mac or PC" as this is the device I am using. I have no Keyfile to import so I just hit the green plus sign and use "default_key".

What I understand is that all I have to do is drag and drop the ebook into Calibre with the settings I have applied and the DRM should be removed. This isn't happening. Am I doing something wrong?

I am using the latest DeDRM (6.5.1) By Apprentice Alf, Harper, etc.

Remove DRM from any Kindle book on Windows

6 Upvotes

Alright here is the surefire way to remove DRM from all Kindle books using any Windows and convert to any e-reader file.

  1. Download Python 2.7 Latest Version. https://www.python.org/downloads/ (As of Nov. 04 2015 it is 2.7.10) (32 bit)

  2. Download Kindle for PC. https://www.amazon.com/gp/digital/fiona/kcp-landing-page?ie=UTF8&ref_=kcp_pc_mkt_lnd (This is where you download your books but dont download them yet!)

  3. Download Calibre Latest Version. http://calibre-ebook.com/download (32 bit)

  4. Download PyCrypto 2.6 for Python 2.7 32 bit. http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/modules.shtml#pycrypto

  5. Download DeDRM tools 6.3.4a https://github.com/apprenticeharper/DeDRM_tools/releases/tag/v6.3.4a (download the zip file)

  6. Unzip the DeDRM tools in some folder (I used the Downloads folder)

  7. Go to the DeDRM_calibre_plugin folder (C:\Users(Username)\Downloads \DeDRM_tools_6.3.4a\DeDRM_calibre_plugin) and unzip the DeDRM_plugin folder. (You should have a normal, unzipped folder)

  8. Go in the DeDRM_plugin folder and find the mobidedrm.py python file and open it with Python IDLE or Notepad

  9. Find the term "if val406 != 0:" and comment out (use the key "#" before the lines) the lines "if val406!=0:" and "raise DrmException(u"Cannot decode library or rented ebooks.")" so they look like this:

    #if val406 != 0: #raise DrmException(u"Cannot decode library or rented ebooks.")

  10. Save the file as "mobidedrm.py"

  11. Select all the contents of the DeDRM_plugin folder and zip it (preferably with a new name, and remember where this is)

  12. Open Calibre and go to Preferences, at the bottom (Advanced) open Plugins.

  13. Select Load plugin from file and select the zip folder you JUST zipped.

  14. Close Calibre completely and open Calibre again (leave it open).

  15. Open Kindle and go to Tools.., Options, Registration and Register your Kindle with the Amazon account you have the Kindle books in.

  16. Download (by right clicking each book) the books you want to remove DRM from.

  17. Go to your Documents folder and make sure you have the folders "Calibre Library", and "My Kindle Content".

  18. Go to Calibre and click on Add books, go to the .AZW* files in your "My Kindle Content" folder.

  19. After they are added they should be free of DRM. Now to convert.

  20. Right click on the books and go to Convert books individually.

  21. In the top right you should see a drop down menu with different output files (EPUB, MOBI, PDF), pick which one you want and convert.

  22. Some conversions take up to 40 minutes to convert fully so please let it convert.

  23. Now you have your own converted copy of your Kindle book that can be used anywhere.

If you have any questions please comment or PM me.

I have tried every suggestion I could find on the internet for how to remove DRM from nook, and not a single one has worked for me.

The things I have tried:

  • downloading the old nook for pc app

  • downloading the old nook study app

  • calibre with deDRM plugin

  • Epubor Ultimate

  • Epubor All DRM Removal

  • Any eBook Converter

Is there anything left to try, or am I just stuck with locked book files for all of eternity?

Neowing Ebook Reader DRM

5 Upvotes

Neowing is CDJapan's official ebook reader, and it offers a lot of raw manga/magazines/etc that I don't think have official digital releases elsewhere. The issue is: the DRM hasn't been cracked yet. This is the only thing I can find online relating to specifically looking to de-DRM things through Neowing: https://github.com/apprenticeharper/DeDRM_tools/issues/466. I guess I'm making this post to page interest in trying to figure it out? Especially with how cheap a lot of the ebooks on CDJapan's store are.

DRM Removal for EPUBs

5 Upvotes

I'm trying to read the books I've bought on Google Play Books on Moon Reader+ but I can't find a way to do it.

Everything I've downloaded is only a 10 epub limit or 24 hour trial. I've downloaded Adobe Digital Editions but I don't know what to do with that and on this Google help page it says you should be able to move books to a device without having to remove the DRM.

I'm very confused and just want to read my books. Any help is very much appreciated.

I'm not sure which DRM ITunes removal software to pick, the 3 I have narrowed it down to are:

Aimersoft Noteburner iTunes DRM removal suite DRMare M4V Converter

Finally, once the DRM is removed are the files still playable in iTunes?
