AllofMP3′s DRM, cracked

October 25, 2006 by in Downloadable,Geeky,Tech with 20 Comments

Follow along…  AllofMP3, the Russian music service that has been deemed illegal in the US, released a version of thier music that had DRM to protect thier assets.

music_for_masses.pngAs predicted, a crack has been issued for the DRMed illegal songs, to make them playable on any MP3 player.  So that would be reverse engineering a DRM mechanism, a clear violation of the DMCA.  Do two wrongs make a right here?

If you want to test the logic, MusicForMe (a play off of MusicfortheMasses) is available here.  One pitfall is that the resulting files have names like “123ABCQWERTY.mp3,” but their ID3 tags are still intact, Ill let you figure out what do do with that.

Now before this post ends, my lawyer has kindly asked me to say the following.  UNEASYsilence HIGHLY warns you that this is a very dangerous proposition, and that all your music should be purchased legally.  What happens with this utility is TOTALLY your responsibility. [via]

    Cool, why to use P2P when you can have a illegal site providing you with illegal music with a hi speed server?
    xD

    “Cool, why to use P2P when you can have a illegal site providing you with illegal music with a hi speed server?”

    because torrents and p2p like soulseek have a much higher bitrate than 128. ill try this for albums I cant find anywhere else though.

    Its down. For craps sake, somebody mirror it!

    Sum1 updated an even better crack :DDDDD

    1. No BAT files to run, it happens automatically when you play the song.
    2. Original file name kept
    3. Dumped MP3 is in the same directory as the MP3x, so you don’t have to go digging in the MusicForMasses install directory anymore.

    Download: http://rapidshare.com/files/617655/M4M-fmod-hack-improved_MusicForMasses.rar

    Tested. Works.
    Have fun ^^

    No BAT files to run, Original file name kept, No installation Instructions!

    How do you make this thing work?

    Wally,
    With the second crack.. just pay the mp3x files in the player, they’ll automatically get dumped as plane mp3s to the same folder than the mp3x is in. Just copy the files in the rar into the musicformasses install directory.

    :)

    If the app crashes, just leave it (do not close it).

    It will continue to take off the DRM even though windoz says it must close.

  • Wally

    It crashes on me before even getting to the UI – sigh…

  • zoro25

    If its crashing do not double click the file to open the associated player.

    load the player first sign in and then click on the down loaded file.

  • Dang it

    AllofMP3 just updated the music app. None of the cracks work anymore
