I recently found out that Penn State University decided to pony up the cash to allow all students/faculty/staff full access to all of the music on Napster. It looks like Napster works with whatever devices support the PlayForSure scheme from Microsoft. This protocol makes sure that the device honors the WMA DRM that is supposed to protect the file from illegal piracy, although, Napster has no problems burning WMA files you download to CD. One of the large mp3 player manufacturers that does not subscribe to this program is Apple, so is all hope lost? The program FairUse4WM is able to extract the keys locally stored in your Windows Media Player and then strip the DRM protection leaving a plain WMA file, that is, if you can play the protected file on your PC, then you can remove the protection. You can then add the plain WMA file to your iTunes library and have it converted to AAC and then simply transfer the file on your iPod and enjoy.
