Tunebite
 

Hi there,

I know, it is almost a dumb question but anyway.

Does tunebite "delete" all user information in a drm protected file, when recording it to mp3 ?
Surely, it is an analog recording, so tunebite should not know anything about the user, but it also restores id3 tags from the file, so why not the crypted user info within the drm file ?

Anyone ?

MP3 files have no such DRM-crap included :)

That was simple and sweet eagle.. Have to give you, your dues on that one. One the flipside though.. what if someone wanted to maintain the original format like.. WMA - WMA. I thought about it myself after reading that post.. If it does transfer the tag data like it obviously does it could transfer other info. The main goal of the program is to remove the drm addition so I would hope at least the creators of Tunebite wouldn't go out of their way to keep anything like that in the mix.. And just the fact that the final product is drm free would suggest that any piece of it would be gone.. Are the file sizes of the 2 identical? (the protected and uprotected) This is a good question indeed.

Allthough I used a Hex-Editor to have a look at the files, I could not find any reference to any user info, BUT there might be some crypted stuff in there, which shall not be catched by any prying eye :)

The latest version of Tunebite does this conversion fully digital, just to clear things up.
What it does, is basicly re-recording what your soundcard is playing, so no DRM information is left in the resulting file. So you can safely use it to remove that protection and nobody will ever know it was protected :)

:(
 

But I didn't like it - it's slow...

Great tool
 

So I can remove the protection from songs that i bought from iTunes and no one will ever know they were protected? :confused: Tunebite sounds really cool...got to check it out!

No way?Really? Oh...
 

:eek: Duh! Of course you can!!!:D Where have you been living?! Everybody uses a software or some tool for this purpose..It seem that this Tunebite thing is becoming more and more popular :rolleyes:

Yeah, Tunebite it is becoming more popular and it also converts video files... and it is very reliable too...so, I used it too for a few years, than switched to another tool loke this, just for a change, but came back to Tunebite when they released the version that is able to convert video, it also has other functions included, like cd burning; helps a lot not not to have to use many tools, but to have everything included just in one.

i used tunebite, but kept getting small gaps in each track

Can the latest version of Tunebite convert videos and has also a cd burning function? So how do I get Tunebite? Is it expensive? :confused:

You can find all the needed information here ;) (Is it too hard to use google or guess URLs ?)
Take the premium edition if you don't need support for protected video files.
Otherwise take platinum.
They both support burning audio CDs though...

another program, NoteBurner, can also do this

i like the interface of NoteBurner better

it is easier to use than TuneBite.

So I bought Tunebite Platinum, have to say it converts my files perfectly. Still I haven’t figured out whether I can or can’t convert my video files into audio files? Does anyone know? Thanks

As far as I know Tunebite can convert( remove the protection) from both audio and video files, but I don't think it can convert a video file into an audio one. I mean if you convert a video file, after conversion you'll still have a video file but without protection.:confused:

Hi

Sure it can, Tunebite can convert video to audio if you select the option of converting only audio: "Audio only". Check this box, redhatblueeyes, and you'll have audio part converted:)

Oh I have figured that out in the meantime what I don't figure out right now is why after Tunebite finishes converting, the file doesn't appear in the overwiev? Hmm this happens for a short period of time. any clue Jeremiah55?

As far as I remember it is something related to the names of output-files, characters or something...

Thanks...characters indeed, too many caracthers actually :D.

:eek: I was tricked into trying some tool called Tunecab...don't let anyone fool you with that...because tunebite has not changed the name.

I saw on some forums the same problems, this software is pretending to be Tunebite and has nothing to do with it, and tried it myself and scrwed up my sound-settings, took a while to restore them :(

Hmm ...reading the 2 last posts I can only think that I probably use the best tool ever. Otherwise why should someone try to steal the name from other software?! Tunebite is the best!

Limb did you try with a full version or with a trial version ? Because this could be the only problem. Other than that I don't see any problems. For me i works ok.

ohh...and one more thing. Please try something more intelligent than this spam attempt...the link you provided here, goes to a website that is exactly the same as the tunecab site. So please don't insult our intelligence :eek:

Tunebite has just released a totally new version with higher conversion speed and a lot of other formats from which to convert

I have received a free serial for the new version, it has many improvements and you can use it as a converter only if you wish. It can now convert files that are not DRM protected. The speed is higher :)

So how much does this new version cost?

You can find all the info here

HI,

I'm kinda new here and I wanted to ask if you already tried to convert video files also?
I'm searching for a tool to convert my videos but couldn't find anything great yet.
I took a look at the website of tunebite and downloaded the demo version but it only did like a minute of the file:confused:

Hi,

Piccard, welcome!
The demo version only converts 60 sec of a files, so don't expect more.
I have converted iTunes files and had n problem with them, they turned out ok:D.

Hi,

Oh, ok:o, that's why I got only 1 min of my files converted...
Thanks, I am not sure yet if to buy this tool, I am playing around to see whether it's easy to use or not. I not that much of a computer geek and I am not using them that much

Hey Piccard,

Have you made up your mind yet about the converter tool you wanted to buy?

Tunebite is very easy to use and has a friendly interface. And, besides, these things are very easy to learn, so if this is your only concern, go for it.

Hmmm, did u manage to solve that issue with the files?U should also look at the Tunebite faq on its homepage.I think I saw something round there that might help u solve this.
