How to Convert Protected WMA Music Files from Ruckus into Mp3s

So you sit there looking at your hundreds of free downloads from Ruckus and you wonder, "Hey, surely there has to be some way to convert protected WMA files into mp3s." If you have any experience with Ruckus (the free music downloading program for college students) then you know every well you cannot play the files you download on any portable devices or iTunes. This can be incredibly frustrating as you have access to millions of songs yet have no way of putting them on your iPod and running to your new favorite tunes.

Worry no more, for I have found a solution to this dilemma of windows media protected files or protected wma's. The process is very simple and it leaves you with the ability to legally convert all of your music on Ruckus into easily transferable and convertible mp3s.

To begin you need to download a program available on the internet called Tunebite. Tunebite is a program that creates high speed dubbing ports that can re-record music produced on your computer producing the content at exactly the same quality. Unfortunately, if you want the full capabilities of Tunebite you will need to purchase the software. However, once you have the full version of the software, you will be able to convert all of your Ruckus files into mp3.

Having downloaded the software from the site, simply follow the download instructions and proceed with the installation. Nearing the completion of the installation, you will have the opportunity to select which folders Tunebite will monitor. If you select you Ruckus music folder you can set up your preferences so that immediately after you have downloaded files from Ruckus, Tunebite will convert them into mp3's. Furthermore, Tunebite conveniently places all the converted files into the folder of your preference. Essentially, you can just set the folder destination into your iTunes music folder so that once you have downloaded music from Ruckus the files will be readily converted and then added to your iTunes library.
