Extending Digital Licensing

[BitGrinder]

My local library system allows me to download audiobooks remotely. The entire audiobook is downloaded in .wma format with a license that lasts for 24 days. The collection that they have is quite extensive.

I'd like to find a way to make the audiobook permanently readable, for my own purposes and for the purpose of sharing. Would something as simple as duplicating it into a different format do this? Any other suggestions on how this can be done?

burn it to a cd and then rip it.

The problem you'll have with burning to a CD is the size of the file.

You can also use a program to record the audio output as its being played. Basically it'll record what you hear.

Is it larger than 700 mbs? burn it to dvd..or rip it to mp3 format

you can make it into a dvd or cd image then rip it to mp3 after mounting it with daemon tools or magicdisc. Bsgjunkies' solution would take too long.
