I pay a monthly subscription fee for Zune music (now Xbox Music) and I paid for this software, but it will NOT remove the DRM from music I purchased at the Zune Marketplace.
This software only encodes the audio. The video is ignored. What am I doing wronf the DRM doesn't seem to get removed from ZUNE movies. wmv files.
They are purchased files. I get the same popup on all my purchased and downloaded xbox live video.
Hi, we are sorry that this DRM removing tools only supports purchased files．
So, when I try to convert my Zune files to mp3's, and a window popped up that told me to download the usage rights using Zune software. So....How do I fix that? I don't have the money to keep buying Zune passes.
Now I can remove DRM .. Thank you !

Tried it, and it only encodes the audio. The video is ignored. Not worth looking at.
