DRM Dumpster doesn't speed up the process of removing the not to be sufficiently d@#ned DRM, but rather, automates the process, so you can be free to do other things, while it completes at a normal pace.

In order to stay legal, it simply automates the process of burning DRMed material to CDRW and then reading it back in MP3 or AAC format. It formats a CDRW, burns some DRMed music, reads back to AAC or MP3 format and repeats the process till all DRMed music is converted. It simply automates the manual process, so you can be doing other things.

I set it up and went to bed. In the morning, my entire collection of DRMed material had been converted. I am quite pleased with the result.

That said, I would gladly pay for a product that would bypass writing to CDRW and simply remove the DRM from the original file, even if that is not "CONSIDERED" legal. Sometimes, there is a marked difference between what is considered LEGAL and what really is RIGHT. It's a shame that the greedy artists and music companies want to treat our purchased music as simply something which belongs to them and to which they "ALLOW" use, only under their terms.

At least DRM Dumpster works and it fills the gap, till someone is brave enough to face the ire of the music industry and create a straight forward DRM removal product.

Oh, yes. Don't forget to turn "Check for updates automatically" back on, in iTunes, after you are finished using DRM Dumpster. You may also want to turn off "access for assistive devices," in the Universal Access preferences, after you are done, too.

DRM Dumpster is a useful product that does exactly what it says and nothing more. There are few commercial products that you can say that about. For that reason, I strongly recommend it.
