bendy on "How to Convert protected Music/ Video to new iPod, MP3"

I'm looking for some help here - please bear with the story... Ok, essentially I used to use a Sony walkman mp3 player, with all my music files on a laptop with Sonic Stage. That laptop has since been stolen (I've still got the mp3 player) but due to a new ipod, I now use iTunes on my work lapotp. Because it's a work laptop, any 'enhanced' CDs (ie those with videos, etc on them) won't transfer to the library; the laptop just won't recognise them in the drive. Consequently there's a large element of my music collection that I now can't put on to iTunes. So I was wondering if it would be possible to: 1) Install sonic stage onto my new laptop and somehow dump the files onto it from the Sony mp3 player, and then 2) Convert these Sony files into iTunes 'friendly' files? Any help much appreciated. cheers bendy

Perhaps [...]
