DRM to MP3 program

I'm trying to convert DRM music to MP3's without having to drag each song one-by-one, preferably I'd like to just drag in folder of artists to convert to MP3's. I was wondering if there is a safe and legit program that does so.
I'm doing it so I can listen to music on different devices.
Additional info: I'm trying to convert songs downloaded with a Zune Music Pass (ancient, I know) to MP3. Zune software stopped working and I want to back up my music before my laptop blows up. Music downloaded via Zune is a Windows Media Audio file (I think - it could be a Zune DRM type file but I'm not sure because the program stopped working).

+K for suggestions.

I use foobar2000 to convert various audio formats (.wav to mp3, etc), but I'm kind of confused at what actual format the audio files you have are.
Removing DRM is always a pain in the ass. :/ Not sure if foobar works with that

When I had Zune, I spent quite a while looking for software to remove the drm. Unfortunately, I never really found anything good.

Foobar might work, it's odd since the Zune program now opens, but won't show my collection. Dialog box appears that says MS Zune has stopped working, but some functions still work. And all of the Zune files now say .wma

Strange shit is happening.
