There have been some applications to strip out the DRM such as JHymn, but I'm not sure if any of these work anymore with current iTunes files.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JHymn The burn-to-CD then rip option is really the only other alternative, but has the drawback of requiring that you rip the song to a (large) lossless format if you want to preserve the full fidelity of the original. This is because ripping it to compressed format would effectively be double-compressing the file. Either way it's a pain and everyone wishes that this silly DRM stuff would just go away. For honest users (like me, and I presume you) all it does is get in the way. The rest of those folks out there who illegally copy music will *always* be able to get around it since the whole DRM idea is deeply flawed. http://news.zdnet.com/2100-9588_22-6189011.html My wife and I purchased music from iTunes for a while, but I've now gone back to only buying music on CD. Not only is the music uncompressed and free of DRM, but you're getting your music pressed on "free" archival media ready for storage, a case, and real liner notes. That is what I recommend. -- Gildahl ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gildahl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4102 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38368 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
