Many so-called DRM removal solutions, including doubletwist, have the same problem because they record and re-compress the audio stream. The apps at the hymn project all remove the DRM and decrypt the file in a completely lossless fashion, so the result is exactly the same quality as the original. Granted, at 128 kbps AAC, the bar isn't too high to begin with.
- tuxracer, on 02/24/2008, -0/+2The method you've suggested (unless you rip it to a huge wav file) is like photocopying a photocopy. iTunes songs are lossy encoded. Which means some of the song's sound has been lost/distorted in places where the encoder thinks you wont be able to hear it in order to save space. If you copy that song to a CD-RW and then re-rip it the encoder will go over it again and remove MORE sound in slightly different places. The only way around it is to re-rip it in .wav files and now you're taking up hundreds of megabytes for a single CD.
Requiem will strip the DRM from the file but leave the sound data intact. There's no other program that will do that with iTunes songs right now. Every other program that claims to do that just plays the song, captures the sound, and re-encodes it -- the same photocopy of a photocopy problem. It has nothing to do with people getting off being "rebels," it has to do with people wanting to strip the DRM without damaging the quality of the sound. - obliviousfool, on 02/21/2008, -0/+2Actually, that's pretty much the method Apple "recommends" if you should run into a problem with the DRM. The problem is that you add an unnecessary step which degrades the quality of the audio. Here we have something which, presumably, doesn't require any extra encoding and decoding.

Last post I found find about it - inactive, on 02/21/2008, -6/+2This whole DRM stripping debate is absolutely retarded because you can already strip the DRM off iTunes purchases by buying a CD-RW, which you can burn into infinity. Rip your songs to that CD-RW and import them back into iTunes as any file you want. iTunes supports importing in WAV, AIFF, MP3 and AAC. Oh well, I guess people get off on being "rebels."
