groups.google.com — Broken Fractal Ventures has released El Tunes (el-tunes.com), a way for Linux users to play their FairPlay DRM-encumbered music. It takes the form of a GStreamer plugin, so you can choose to use any number of players (Songbird, Rhythmbox, Totem, Amarok, and more).

Just another comment: this project is being led by Cody Brocious. The guy who did PyMusique with DVD Jon back in 2005. :)

... Why?... so that anyone with an ipod is tied to apples s**tty software in order to use it?... I'd much rather see libraries like this (and libgpod) improving that way people who already use other media players can proceed as they are...
