What a lot of people do is use iTunes to burn CDs of the DRM'd songs, and then rip those CDs to a lossless format like Apple Lossless or FLAC. Of course, you don't gain back what was lost in the initial lossy compression to AAC, but at least you don't lose anything more.
If, by chance, you've never upgraded to iTunes 6.x you could alternatively use jhymn to strip the protection from the AAC files. http://www.hymn-project.org/jhymndoc/ If you have a lot of protected tunes and don't want to waste a lot of CDs in that intermediate step there might be a way to do it all on your hard disk, but I don't know it. The big constraint seems to be that iTunes is the only software that can play those files, and the only non-CD-burning conversion option it offers is MP3. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24020 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
