so, i have a situation. my version of mediaplayer is crap, like serious crap and it keeps saying many of my wma files are not 'valid' and when i try to update them and validate them it errors out. this is a known issue


here is my dilemma, i own the cds my music came from but i have no machine that can play cds outside of a reeeaaaallly old boombox with no power cord and an 11 year old mac with no ripping software so to get my music i have to either download itunes/bandcamp/soundcloud and buy each song i already own again or pirate them off the internet like a criminal >x>;;; as someone who does not have the money to rebuy music i already bought once and as i dont want some invasive program stealing my information(well, legally i have to agree to let it be taken) i am inherently against that idea, on the other hand i also feel like a real creep over the idea of using a sketchy stealing site to get the music as well even though i technically paid for the music via cd purchase(and my mom, she bought all the SoD and most of the weird al)


i don't know what to do here. i have music i cannot listen to and either way to get that music back in a state i can listen to it(mp3) is terrible, what would you lot do?
