I expected a program like this sooner. JHymn will rip your copy protected iTunes AAC files to mp3. I wonder how long before the lawyers circle and consume this project? Get your copy while it lasts. I wonder how long before the FBI kicks in my door, shoots my dog, and hauls me off to jail. I am a criminal now, am I not? I wonder how long before people who rip their legally purchased content will be labeled terrorists of one sort or another?

hymn -- decrypt iTunes and iPod music / unprotect AAC files (m4p --> m4a)

"...Google and O'Reilly came together to begin the first of an annual Open Source Awards to honor five open source people whose contributions over the past year have been exceptional in five categories: Communicator, Evangelist, Diplomat, Integrator, and Hacker.
...
Integrator:
One person was able to get Python, Perl & PHP people to all agree on something. No small feat. They all agreed on the success of SQlite, and began using it in earnest by being small as well as extremely fast for all the most common database functions. Our server budgets also thank you.
