- orbanj, on 10/11/2007, -6/+217"I'm sure this story will be buried by DMCA lovers."
cause there are TONS of dmca lovers on digg - neoneddy, on 10/11/2007, -10/+107give us the mac version, or the little kitty gets it!
- theboohi, on 10/11/2007, -5/+77"I'm sure this story will be buried by DMCA lovers."
Do any even exist? - binaryspiral, on 10/11/2007, -7/+76Sorry, I should have included that in my submission.
- djjester, on 10/11/2007, -5/+67what's with the martyr "I'm sure this story will be buried by DMCA lovers." comment....does digg have any DMCA lovers?
- cdmarcus, on 10/11/2007, -3/+64@linkedlist: If an iTunes update made this tool "redundant," that would mean that it did the same thing, namely decrypting iTunes files. Now, I don't think that Apple's going to release an update that lets you decrypt your files any time soon... I think you meant "obsolete."

I loved when someone sent the RIAA a DMCA take down notice for using his forum software a couple months back - rspeed, on 10/11/2007, -1/+33@gxcdesign
And all you lose is time, waste blank CDs, be forced to re-enter the song titles and substantially decrease the sound quality! - daborg, on 10/11/2007, -0/+29???? It wouldn't be a crack if it lost information, you dolt! It's not a lossy conversion. RTFA.
- morcheeba, on 10/11/2007, -0/+24Nope. Submitter is trolling; He had a good story... why ruin it with the negativism?
- deadbaby, on 10/11/2007, -3/+24"iTunes will convert your AAC files to MP3 when you're ready to run away from Apple"
AAC is not an Apple proprietary format. Any modern digital audio player handles un-encrypted AAC. Converting from AAC->MP3 is a bad idea unless you have an old player that doesn't support AAC at all. - geminitojanus, on 10/11/2007, -2/+22MPAA
RIAA
etc. - Kerr, on 10/11/2007, -4/+22is there a Mac equivalent app?
- nstanosheck, on 10/11/2007, -4/+20daborg, not everyone has a MacBook or MacPro. Lots of Maqc users are still using PowerPC computers whether we use Mac OS X, Yellow Dog Linux, Fedora Core, or OpenSuse Linux.
- Vektuz, on 10/11/2007, -1/+16This is inaccurate. It works only for 7.0.1 and 7.0.2 and 7.1.1
The current version is 7.1.1.5
The .5 is probably just to fix this hole. - jdpalite, on 10/11/2007, -1/+14@ cyberakuna
"So, whats with all these Mac zelots telling me that theres no reason to buy a PC since Macs can run Windows now? If its to easy why does an app being Windows only upset you?"
It would be more convenient, much like using the "check spelling" button. - MyNameIsJoe, on 10/11/2007, -5/+16I love them, but only because Christ taught us to love our enemies.
- cdmarcus, on 10/11/2007, -2/+12And limiting how many computers you can play a song on is a good thing?
- bmxboy661, on 10/11/2007, -2/+11mac version:
http://seidai.50webs.com/Seidai%20Software_files/FairGame.zip - redheadguy719, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9has anyone ever cracked videos, or is that like an entirely different thing?
- unloud, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9Because this now breaks iTunes' LATEST drm.
- shadus, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9I've never had any luck getting qtfairuse6 to work regardless of how i poked and prodded it, even with older versions of iTunes. However, the current version of myFairTunes works great for me because i never updated from 7.0.2.16.
Also, this app hasn't even been updated in... 2 months? This isn't anything apple is jumping all over to fix like everyone seems to think they're going to. Hell, I don't think I've ever had a undecryptable iTunes file for more than a month since I got iTunes. *shrug* Just don't auto update iTunes and only upgrade on major releases... the incremental releases are just drm fixes for the most part anyways. - alecwh, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Everybody smile!
Although I'm against stealing, I can't help but feel happy every time the community rages against DRM. - spartan777, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6i don't think its as simple as recompiling the source under mac. the way hymn usually works (the last hack) was by locating the song in unencrypted for in the system memory, where I'm sure it was thoroughly hidden and obscured. Mac OSX probably represents a whole 'nother batch of issues and barriers. However, anyone with a large itunes library on a mac could just authorize a windows pc (everyone can authorize 5 different machines in itunes) with itunes and use hymn. I don't see a reason why that wouldn't work. Its more convenient (for a large library) than burning and re-ripping a whole collection (even virtually), but still less convenient than if they just made hymn for mac.
- Wasson101, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6A. Pain in the ass
B. Loss of quality - PathDaemon, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7Nobody's saying it's for backing up. It's for playing the songs outside of iTunes and on any MP3 player not called "iPod"
- HypocriteDigg, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6I won't be burried by DMCA lovers, but by fanboy haters like me. Did someone force you to buy DRMed music?
- ChaperonNoir, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6It's written in python and it uses COM to access itunes. That's why you can't get this on a mac. Mac = no COM.
- podgey22, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6You are missing something.
"Last edited by igorsk on Tue Mar 06, 2007", foo' - Ashex, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Since this is written in python, all you need to do is fix the location of the libraries and compile...
- rdoger6424, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6You must be a windows user.
The MAC version of iTunes is a decent music player, and seamlessly integrates into the GUI and uses Bonjour perfectly
The WINDOWS version of iTunes has a clunky interface, is on the bloated side and serves the sole purpose of iPod syncing.
Heck, I only use the windows version because it plays my music from my mac over my network. - tuartboy, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6Other than the fact that your method requires 2 transcodes (AAC -> CD -> MP3/AAC) of an already low-bitrate file?
Nothing. - MahRain, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Steve Jobs already mentioned this 'cracking' and the endless cycle of crack->update->crack... that's why he wrote the anti-DRM letter and started selling EMI songs drm-free.
Maybe this will be another nail in DRM's coffin. - daborg, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5They've added support for iTunes 7.1.1 since then. (In an update to the config file.)
- atrain, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6This is not a new app.... it yanks the decrypted MP3 from iTunes memory, after it is decoded, before it is played. Although ingenious, will not help linux or mac users, and still requires windows users to have iTunes installed and running...
- HypocriteDigg, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Time for an ADULT Digg!
Listen kiddies, if you don't want DRM, the go buy the damn CD! No one is forcing you to buy from iTunes. - Urusai, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Selling used CDs is illegal in several states now! Heil!
- Kyderdog, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5But is still sounds better than winamp...
- unreal32, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4Buried as inaccurate. Not only is this like the 200th time JHymn has made the home page, but the latest version of iTunes has not been cracked. The software was last updated April 7th - more than a month ago. Seems like a classic case of trying to make the home page by submitting an anti-DRM story for the gazillionth time. Surprised it still works.
- limpits, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4@zweben
its a solution for a lot of people though, why bury just because it doesnt hit EVERYONE? the article doesnt hit EVERYONE either, yet its front page... - Pliep, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Marked inaccurate. For one this is old news and number two: it does NOT crack the latest version 7.1.1.5 tracks. Besides, iTunes version 7.1.2 which is mentioned in the title does not exist.
- CrimsonBlur, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3@anthony808
His point is still wrong. First of all, only EMI has released DRM-free tracks, all other music will have DRM still with no option for the higher quality files. Furthermore, any music that you have already purchased will always have DRM unless you decrypt it with this application.
Just as a note to everyone thinking about using this, I've never used it but decided to give it a try this time, and so far it's processed about 1/4 of my iTMS purchased tracks (I have around 500) and worked perfectly. I tested it by opening the files and playing them in the Zune software. This is awesome because it means now I can stream ALL of my music to my 360! :) And yes, I have the latest version of iTunes: 7.1.1.5 - zweben, on 10/11/2007, -3/+6It's *not* a solution for many people. Like many others, I'm on a PPC Mac and will be for the foreseeable future.
- ImprovingLemon, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3I buried!
THIS IS DMCAAAAAA!!!!!!! - veracon, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3@dan21328 (#6667912)
Hardly news, but I can't argue that QTFairUse is a great application. - diggapleaze, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3"Since this is written in python, all you need to do is fix the location of the libraries and compile..."
try again, python scripts are compiled - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3Pointless - if you are going to this effort why not just illegally download in the first place?
- albrad84, on 10/11/2007, -3/+5Yeah, this has been out for nearly a year and has been on the front page more than once. In fact, they haven't even updated it since November. But it does work great.
- Thataboy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Honestly, why buy from iTunes Music Store if DRM if Fairplay is too restrictive for you? I mean, DRM sucks in both principle and practice, but Fairplay is NOT so horrible as far as DRM goes.
Why not just use allofmp3 (or its successor that shall go unnamed)? OK, you want the artists to get paid -- that's admirable. Well, iTunes will allow you to upgrade your tracks to no-DRM very soon (EMI any day now, indies soon after that, and other majors later). So this Hymn project just seems like hacker wankery at this point. -
