- theonlyvlad, on 10/12/2007, -2/+32wow. best description ever, to a news story. Imagine Washington Post writing stuff like this:
"George Bush re-elected for 2nd term"
"MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. .. oh wait." - insomniac8400, on 10/12/2007, -2/+23I think you want the download in the first post. Very easy to find, since it's the first thing you see when the page loads.
- pierre, on 10/12/2007, -3/+20great description, right to the point.
- GraceMolloy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15it captures the stream, which is why it works. Gotta love these guy's ingenuity in deciding not to break the DRM but to simply bypass it. Good work!
- tempusrob, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15Usually when a fix is made and the program is updated, they'll update the main post to link to the latest version.
- Terc, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16Re-ripping will cause a loss in sound quality, also, you DON'T lose the meta data, the origional release did, but each version since then has added the data back.
RTFA - abyssknight, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9Best link is here: http://hymn-project.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1555
Straight to the download and changelog. - netwookiee, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10This version is for Windows. Does anyone know if they have a version for OS X and where to get it? I can't seem to find one.
- catoutfit, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10Encode then burn then re-encode...
That won't sound utterly *****. - ldhertert, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6So is this actually stripping the DRM or is it capturing the stream like that other recent app that's been thrown around lately?
- blueorder, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6the latest version can de-drm on itunes 7
- Lentilboy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I ripped 17 songs in ~1min.... did you even try it?
- johnhummel, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Damn - I can't even see it because of work filters. Somebody want to set up a mirror?
- ElectricKetchup, on 10/12/2007, -4/+9HAHAHAHHA!!1one
oh wait... what's so funny about this? - miker71, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4It's obvious who doesn't know their differentiation and integration when applied to sound theory.
- Crumbeast, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4You're missing the point. As has been stated here already, and in the link, this program is a lossless solution. Your solution? not so, and any audiophile can easily tell the difference between what you suggest and what the program does.
- MikeFromAmerica, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3But isn't using Auido Hijack the same as converting to uncompressed AIFF (or WAV) and the re-encoding back to AAC? Effectively no different than burning a CD and re-ripping, no?
My understanding is that QTFairUse6 grabs the AAC data from memory after it is decrypted but before it is decoded into PCM audio data. Audio Hijack emulates a sound output device.
Then again, I could be pulling this out of my ass. - abyssknight, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6Hit the link before you reply, it is a link to the myFairTunes6 on the hymn forums.
- Shakermaker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Would Audio Hijack for Mac OSX work?
It basically just streams the audio on your Mac.... - Terc, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6It's probably not going to come out for OSX. Know why? Because OSX is too secure to allow applications to access each other's RAM. Too bad though. I suppose it may work as a plugin for iTunes, although I admit I know nothing about how iTunes plugins work.
- fraggle35, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Yes Audio Hijack will work.
- radda, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2But is it free?
- luchid, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I wish I could digg you up more than once.
- stmiller, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Darn windows only source code...
- BobMysterioso, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2the whole time issue is very moot I think. From reading posts here its not instant, but its also not real time. So queue it up and go to bed. Thats what computers are good for, doing things while we sleep.
- DaffyDuck, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3So you don't mind the loss of sound quality from double-compression?
- r0gue6, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3You are an ass!
here ya go.
Version 2.4 Mirror
http://tinyurl.com/jv4hw - Gantos, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2From the forum:
"let's hope this does not draw unwanted attention and cause apple to change the algorithm."
Oops -- you're on Digg; it's probably too late. - marksy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Hrmm. perhaps, its built on Python - so someone with py programming background should be able to port this to a os x build?
excuse my stupidity... but is this any different to Audio Hi-Jack for OS X? AHJ bypasses the coreaudio through to a AIFF / mp3 stream. Only at 1x speed though.
ZING! - spiffyfitz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I can't find a link to the program that isn't on rapidshare, and rapidshare is filtered out at my college. Can anyone provide a mirror?
It sucks being "that guy that asks for the mirror," I feel like an ass :) - spartan777, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1rogue, you rock. it might not be good downloading stuff at work, but i'm at college, and they have a mean proxy.
- daborg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"No, the quality with this program is the same as the quality you get with "burn then rip", because they are DOING THE SAME THING."
Ummm... What the? I don't even know where to start with this.
Let's see... Did you read anything at all about how the program works before posting?
No wait, let me try again...
Are you high?
Probably.
Either way, you're completely wrong. QTFairUse grabs the *decrypted* (NOT decoded) AAC data from memory BEFORE it is decoded into PCM data. It's lossless. No loss of quality. And, if you had bothered trying it, you would have noticed that it's also faster than the ole ripburn. - jer2eydevil88, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2While I love to see these programs come out to break the DRM in iTunes I fear that they will get Apples attention more so than all the bugs in iTunes 7.
iTunes 7 is still playing all crackly for me at random times as well as a new found ram leak that surprised me yesterday.

- danmed, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Surely Tunebite does the same thing.. plus it has a x4 facility to high speed dub....
- spiffyfitz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Thanks Mr. r0gue6!
- raveneris, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1You don't want to burn and rip audio since the rip will re-compress it... that's the point of this software: no loss of fidelity.
- Agret, on 10/12/2007, -5/+5You shouldn't be downloading music at work anyway ;)
Current version: 2.4
http://rapidshare.de/files/33076083/QTFairUse6-2.4.zip.html
Source code:
http://rapidshare.de/files/33076084/QTFairUse6-2.4-src.zip.html - harlowsmonkeys, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0No, the quality with this program is the same as the quality you get with "burn then rip", because they are DOING THE SAME THING. The program simply plays the AAC file, and intercepts the decrypted and decompressed audio stream. If you want that as DRM-free AAC or MP3, it is then recompressed. If you save it as an Apple lossless, or other lossless format like WAV, then it is a lossless copy of the decompressed lossy file, so is lossy compared to the original.
This is exactly the same steps as far as decompression and recompression go as burning and ripping. Basically, the only difference is that with burn and rip, you are using a disc as temporary storage before saving the data, whereas with the program, you are using a memory buffer.
Although some of the same people are involved, this program does NOT work like the old Hymn program, which decrypted the encrypted AAC data, leaving you with a DRM-free AAC. - h2d2, on 10/12/2007, -8/+6@mingistech: you are so not tech.
Lets see you come out with an app that rips apart a DRM scheme by the biggest online music store, and that gets updated within hours of the original updates.
So lets see, you need a 1000 years to do that? - thewebguy, on 10/12/2007, -7/+4dugg because the description simply said, "mwahahaha"
- luchid, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1Dugg for the evil laughter in the description
- jimmiem, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1Digg for the evil laugh!
- moovitz, on 10/12/2007, -7/+0Couldn't you just burn a cd and then rip it back? I bet it would be much faster.
- harlowsmonkeys, on 10/12/2007, -11/+2So, let's say I want to remove the DRM from 60 minutes of music. With this program, I tell it to, and 60 minutes later it is done.
Or I burn an audio CD-R (5 minutes), then rip that (5 minutes), and am done in 10 minutes.
I'll take #2. - adml_shake, on 10/12/2007, -16/+7true, thats what I thought too. But how do I know on page five it doesn't start talking about how it doesn't work anymore, or some crap like that. then they spend the next 22 pages talking about fixes.
- mingistech, on 10/12/2007, -16/+2different projects man.
and hymn hasn't worked with iTunes DRM for quite awhile. - mingistech, on 10/12/2007, -25/+7it just captures the stream and you loose all album art and tags.
and it takes longer than burning the song to CD and re-importing them.
WORST HACK EVER! :) - adml_shake, on 10/12/2007, -32/+6Ok, i'm not reading thru 20 some pages of posts...if someone has that much free time can they please just sum up what were supposed to be looking for?
