Getting DRM out of your iTunes music
As you may have heard, apple has announced a DRM-free iTunes. That’s GREAT NEWS! Unfortunatly, your current music will still be locked down - if you bought it through iTunes. So how do you make these songs work like normal MP3s?
Well there are dozens of ways to go around it. The ones that I’ve found that work the best usually involve playing through the song and recording loop back. Here are a few methods though…
* Using a CDRW, make a music CD of your locked iTunes songs. Then, import the CD with “mp3″ as your selected format in perferences - this should allow for almost perfect quality.
* Using a loopback cable (double-ended headphone cable) and Audacity. The program audacity can record stereo input as your songs play. Kind of a hackish solution.
* Recording stereo mix - if your soundcard supports it. Kind of tough, but you could digitally dump what your soundcard is producing this way.
GOOD LUCK
