Not on FreeBSD. But you can go grab QTFairUse from somewhere on the net
and, using it in conjunction with iTunes on a Windows machine, remove
the DRM. From what I can tell, all it really does is control the iTunes
player and make it output the audio stream to another file instead of
decoding it to the sound system.

Sounds reasonable to me.  What are some of the alternatives?

That's what I thought, but it was worth asking :)

Burn them to CD, and then rip the CDs.  There's a loss of quality
involved.  In the future, don't buy music with DRM, if you don't want
to put up with it.

iTunes files have DRM protection, so the short answer is that it can't be 
done.

Thanks for the suggestions.  I am trying out gtkpod now, and it seems to
work fine, although I wish that there was a non/gui type program.  

BTW, is it possible to convert mp3 files that were purchased originally
from the Apple store via iTunes so that they could be used on non/iTunes
players?
