A buddy wants to know how to remove DRM from his downloaded iTunes, so that he can burn them to an MP3 CD to play in his car player.

Anyone know how it can be done?

There seem to be a few work-arounds...such as streaming audio recorders, but this is a bit messy (may have to edit nearly every track), and the possibility to use iTunes to convert each to an AAC file...but does this do the trick...?

The last time anyone discussed this was 4 or 5 months ago...no real solution was suggested there...

D.

Here's a link that might get you over the problem temporarily at least. Read this . I'd obviously use CD-RW for this.

There's also a shareware app called MusicStacker that claims to do this.

BTW Tell your student of course I was kidding.

Hi there

There are some tools that come to help with the problem your buddy has. Like TimC also said, there is MusicStacker, also Soundtaxi is said to do this, myFairTunes also available. The best though, in my oppinion, been using it for a while is tunebite. Converts with good results, quality loss is minimal.

The less good part at Tunebite is that the demo version converts only for 30 secs and some might be recalcitrant in buying it without more testing.

I used TotalRecorder to re-record the iTunes Pepsi gave a way a couple years ago. Accelerated mode worked at about 8X, to MP3 VBR 96-224 Kb.

You can try sound taxi... it removes the iTunes protection and has a free trial. http://www.soundtaxi.info/ Great, simple to use product.

I use muvaudio and i love it. it can be found at http://www.muvaudio.com/

You can try this virtual recorder software, www.phantombility.com. This software provide CD-R simulation so that you can use it to create CD audio image, and then, of course, convert it into mp3.
