This is probably the millionth time this subject has been raised but it's finally happended to me:-

My PC finally collapsed and I lost all my NPG Licences. Great! Cheers, Prince.

Does anyone know how this can be solved? There must be a techy out there who knows. I managed to burn some of the tracks from Slaughterhouse and Choc Invasion on to CD and rip them back on to my new PC but apart from that, I'm screwed. Is there a program you can burn WMA and WMV files with t so I can do the same again?

Please say

There is a way to remove the DRM copyright protection thing, but it only works if you have a valid, working, license. If your files can't be played anymore, that's it, there's no way to make them work again.

If you can still play the stuff, there are programs you can use to rip them. But if you can't, you're screwed.

If your hard drive failed, it's probably not worth the hassle of trying to rescue possibly corrupt files.

If your motherboard, power supply or other non-hard drive failure caused the PC failure, then you can swap the HD containing the DRMs into a working PC or even a USB enclosure attached to a Windows supported PC.

Yeah I had the same problem as have numerous others.... I was fortunate enough to have burned most of those trax for my CD player in my car years ago so I still have them...it's the videos that pissed me off...I have a secret angel who HOOKED me up though....

Sorry for your luck...
