Free you iTunes music

well one of my big complaints about the iTunes store has been taken care of...

Awesome, this is something I really could use.

I had such a nightmare when I was trying to listen to my purchased songs from napster on another computer. I practically had to waste a cd to just to burn two songs, because the napster software wasn't working correctly.

great find, is it really easy to use?

yes it's easy to use...
this used to be called playfair and was shut down by apple twice...now their is an uneasy peace b/c hymn includes the user's username and id in the file now...so don't share this crap!

originally written so us linux users can listen to our music in peace.

Doesn't work for me. I've reinstalled XP so many times I've used up my 5 [whatever you call'ems].

I'm pretty pissed at iTunes now :(

Program worked fine for me, and I'm on a Mac...the only thing I haven't yet figured out is how to directly convert (using this program) from protected AAC to MP3 (instead of normal AAC)...

You have to remember, Apple's hands are pretty much tied in this regard. Otherwise, I'm willing to bet that not one single label would let them carry their music.

Major Labels anyway. EMusic.com carries plain old mp3 files. But they also only deal with independant labels.

It is too bad the major labels waste money on stupid anti-piracy crap, when they could be lowering the prices of their music.
