I upgraded a friend’s XP system with a bigger HD and gave him my old BlackBerry 8110 to use as an MP3 player. He ripped his CD collection using the default settings in Windows Media Player, and now that music won’t play when transferred to the BB, citing DRM issues. I should have changed the default settings in WMP to MP3 avoid the WMA DRM problem, but that ship has sailed and is rounding the cape. It’s incredibly frustrating because it’s his music on his computer on his MP3 player, yet Windows and BlackBerry are treating him like a criminal.
I’d prefer not to have to re-rip the entire library. Has anyone else encountered this? Is there a quick way, preferably free, to remove the DRM from all of his music? I’m looking for a solution that can be done automatically by preferably dumping the files into the program and letting it do its thing rather than having to handle each file individually, or worse, do the ‘playback and re-record in real time’ solution. Can someone recommend a program that will do what I want with a minimum of fuss?

I think you can batch-mode VLC for this.

I used iDump back in the day. Yeah great name....
I looked it over again, since it’s been about 8 years, and the instructions say it’s for iPod, but it should work for your plan. I think just open selected folder/drive, transfer to new destination, and it rips the DRM. I used it flawlessly with Ruckus Player (old college thing) before they died. Files are still good today.

Just woke up and so my troubleshooting senses are not acute atm, but I did have one coherent thought: surely the answer lies with VLC. ^
