Audio converter help - I've come with my begging bowl out

Could anyone point me to a good DRM-protected audio converter? I remember sometime ago [livejournal.com profile] morgandawn posting a list? in [livejournal.com profile] vidding? but I can't find it anywhere. I have been using tunebite up until now but for some strange reason I've suddenly been getting lots of pops and crackles during conversion. Obviously, this is really not good, especially when it comes to vidding.

And while I'm here, is anyone having problems logging into Semagic? I re-downloaded it but I get an error message about my IP or something? I can't log in!

ETA: I have found a program called "WMA convert" which I'm trying out. I am still open to suggestions on other/better programs.

I don't remember making such a post (but then my memory isn't that reliable). I've used Mediacoder for most of my various audio and video conversions. But decryption....

Oh! I now remember! FairUseWMV. Let me look for it.

It might not have been you... I know it was a few months ago and it was posted in [livejournal.com profile] vidding either as a post or a helpful comment... Anyway, thank for those links, I'll go check them out.
