froggie Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 i just got a bunch of mp3s that have passwords on them. the trouble is, the original source doesnt remember what it was!. do any computer savvy people here know of programs that can crack the password and make them playable?. they copy fine but once you try and convert them or play them, you get a punch in the face. any ideas?

muller Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Can you burn them as an audio cd in itunes then rip them back to mp3? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KevinG Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Is it a file that has been bought at the iTMS (iTunes Music Store)? If so you can do a couple of things Have the orginal user "deauthorize" all computers and then change the password for their iTMS account also try J Hymn Project. This "scrubs" the music and unlocks it. Unfortunatly it does not work with music bought with iTunes 6 or 7. Or if you upgraded to iTunes 6 or 7. If it is not music bought at iTMS, then I have no idea. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
froggie Posted October 2, 2006 Author Share Posted October 2, 2006 no, they were encoded from an audio tape (which is now lost) a long time ago. the guy put a password on them and eventually forgot what it was Quote Link to post Share on other sites
