AnalogWhole, an Alternative To FairUse4WM

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the digital-is-so-XX-century dept.

Squidmarks writes, "AnalogWhole is a free application that allows any file that can be played in Windows Media Player to be transferred to iTunes as an MP3. It uses, you guessed it, the 'analog hole' to re-record any DRM'ed song as an MP3. Because the analog signal doesn't actually leave the computer, but is simply looped back in the sound card, sound quality of the re-recording is excellent. All meta data is transferred as well. The MP3 file is automagically added to iTunes. Just show it where you store your DRM music and walk away."

    Considering its targeting stuff like ipod playback, this shouldn't be a problem.

    I dare you to find anything at all funny about the word "AnalogWhole".

    > It is still looped through the sound card, so while quality may still be "excellent", there is still loss.

    mmm...but just listen to that lovely analog warmth! I'll take that over digital accuracy anyday...

    Shouldn't be a problem. Heck, you could even say that it plays for sure.

    Good name for a pr0n flick about open source audio codecs, yes?

    Yes, I know what you're saying.. there aren't any porn flicks about open source software.

    I aim to change that.

    As soon as I get a video camera and work up the nerve to leave mom's basement. *peeks out window*
