Re: MP3

I thought they were WMA's but they ARE rax files. Guess I might have to bite
a really HUGE bullet and just buy the cd's that have the songs I want!
Unfortunately some are old and/or obscure...figures!

I don't know. You initially said they're MP3 files but then you said
they're rax files. My program only works with ID3 tags which are almost
always on MP3 files. You should probably contact RealPlayer. Good luck
with that, though. I don't think much of them.

I downloaded your ID3 tag backup program and did the browse for my music
folder, then selected subfolder and "remove tag from MP3 file" and then I
"pressed" the BACKUP button and it looked like it "sank in" but then
nothing
happened!

Is there no hope of getting the music I PAID FOR out of RealPlayer?

No kidding? Are they MP3 files? If so, there has to be something in the
tag that Windows Media Player is using to recognize them as coming from
RealPlayer.

Move them to a folder unknown to your media library by cut and paste so
your
media library will lose track of them.

Now you need to remove the ID3 tags, or at least all frames that could be
used by WMP to identify the tracks as coming from RealPlayer - probably
all
the PRIV frames and the COMM frames - from the ID3 tags. You can use my
ID3
Tag Backup program to remove the tags altogether:

Raw Tag Viewer to remove just the PRIV or COMM frames:

If WMP still recognizes them as coming from RealPlayer, it is because the
file names are still stored in the WMP library database. You could
either
rename all of the files or you could rebuild the library database.

Actually I found that the songs already were in My Music folder (as WMA
files) and when I opened that folder, WMP opened up but when I tried to
play
the songs, a dialog box popped up and said that "The file you are
attempting
to play is a ready-to-transfer copy of a file from your RealPlayer
Library
which can be played only on your device (ie. my MP3 player). To listen
to
this track now, play the original in RealPlayer's My Library".

If you plug the MP3 player into your USB port, don't let WMP
synchronize
to
start - it may wipe out your MP3s, I don't know for sure; I'm just
suggesting the cautious approach. Instead, go to My Computer in
Windows
Explorer. You should see a drive there for your MP3 player. You can
simply
copy the files to your My Music folder (or create subfolders under My
Music)
and WMP should pick them up.

I used Real Player to buy songs and put them on my MP3 player, but
now I
want
to use Windows Media Player to play them on my computer. How can I
move
my
songs FROM the mp3 player TO my computer's hard drive (my music
folder)
or
directly into the Windows Media Player?
