Try the opposite - try playing iTunes DRMed files without iTunes but with Quicktime. Won't work. iTunes calls Quicktime simply because that's what's required to decode .M4A and AAC files, not because Quicktime contains the Fairplay de-encryption algorithm. > I provided the URL to apple's site re licensing, you may not want to pay > for it, but they sell millions of downloads, so I'm thinking just maybe > SOMEBODY might want it. Let the iTunes/iPod sheep-people pay for it. They don't mind paying for low-quality copies where Apple dictate where you can play it, so I'm sure they wouldn't mind paying for that either. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29626 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
