Buying DRM-Free Songs From the ITMS

Posted by Zonk on from the enjoy-it-while-it-lasts dept.

mirko writes "Jon Johansen ("DVD Jon") has published a small program which allows the acquisition of DRM-free file from Apple's iTunes Music Store. He explains that his program works by bypassing iTunes which adds the DRM itself at the end of the transfer. His program, pymusique, is Windows-only compliant but it'd be easy to port it to other platforms."

  3. Hymn? by sesshomaru · · Score: 5, Informative

    I used Hymn to remove DRM from some songs so I could move them to an older model Creative MP3 player. It seemed to work fine for me.
