I have bought some WMA music files but can't burn them to CD because of the copy protection. Anyone know how to curcumvent the protection scheme?

the easiest way is to play the files in windows media player and record from the sound card using a program like adobe audition (or you can use a free program like audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/).you can use the program to split the file into individual tracks (assuming you're playing all the tracks in one go).then it's just a case of importing the new tracks into your cd burning program.
there is a program on the net which does remove drm automatically.try looking here:

Shouldn't CloneCD let you do this though?

alfitz's files aren't on a cd-they're on his computer.
