This appears to simply automate what one can currently do anyway. Burn the DRM tracks to a CD and them reimport to strip the DRM. Decompressing to AIFF and the recompressing to MP3 will result in a loss of quality. If you really want to remove DRM look for other apps that simply remove the DRM code.

Well what apps are you thinking that still work? JHymn, Hymn don't work any longer on iTunes 6 & 7. Fairgame never completes the job.Sunday, November 12 2006 @ 08:30 AM PST

The purpose is to convert to MP3, for use in players that only support MP3. Like a car MP3 CD player. There is no lossless way to convert to MP3 under any circumstances so this comment makes no sense.Sunday, November 12 2006 @ 09:49 AM PST

Doesn't workI am on 10.4.8 + iTunes 7.0.2.. Every time I have run this on my iBook, G5 & iMac DuoCore, it can't find my protected music. And then it quits.

It looks for the protected music and any matching MP3 so if you already have a matching MP3 then there is no need to convert the song so it doesn't. That way you can run it many times but it only converts new items. Are you sure you don't already have an MP3 for your protected files ? If you send your iTunes Music Library.xml file to us (go here for contact info http://www.burningthumb.com/contact.html) we will look at it and see why songs are not being converted.Sunday, November 12 2006 @ 01:36 PM PST

But there are no other aps that work with iTunes 6 and above.Jhymn was one but no longer works with iTunes 6 or higher.
So, yes, not perfect, but this app. does make it a bit easier.
