iTunes 4.6, DRM, and Hymn

fluffy writes "Although the recent iTunes 4.6 upgrade refuses to play music decrypted with Hymn, there's already a trivially-simple workaround, demonstrated within hours of the iTunes release, which still preserves the 'fair use' intent of the tool. What move will Apple take against Hymn next?"

I'm not much of an iTMS customer (lifetime purchase history of ~60 songs) but having a CD-based MP3 player doesn't quite cut it when you're lifting weights, and it's already taken flight from the treadmill once.

I bet most people would consider you a pretty serious iTMS customer.

Re:A legitimate complaint? large music libraries

[grrrl]

I agree that large song libraries are not well dealt with (and not to do with scrolling/speed).

Sure, the search function is *the best* when you want to find the artist/genre/album you want to play

wouldnt it be great, though, if you could have your whole library visible and be able to group via artist/genre/album/whatever - as in choose the field you want to group by, then have a collapsable group (think finder list-view directories with the arrows or those little +/- boxses) formed for each matching group

the problem with search is if u cant remember all the stuff u have! u want a reduced, summarised version at your fingertips..
