The purpose of HYMN (Hear Your Music Anywhere) is to allow you to exercise your fair-use rights under copyright law. It allows you to free your iTunes Music Store (protected AAC / m4p) purchases from their DRM restrictions with no sound quality loss. These songs can then be played outside of the iTunes environment. It includes a drag 'n drop graphical user interface (GUI). Why use HYMN? Use HYMN to decrypt your iTunes protected AAC files so that they can be played on non-iTunes-capable, but AAC-capable devices and operating systems, such as Linux. Use HYMN to eliminate the five computer limit imposed by iTunes. Use HYMN to make archival backups of your music. Use HYMN as the first step in converting your music from protected AAC to MP3, Ogg or your other favorite audio file format, for use with your non-iPod portable audio player. Use HYMN to demonstrate your belief in the principles of fair-use under copyright law. This program is protected by the GNU General Public License. What's New: Version 0.7.1 release notes are not available. Bug fixes for bugs #s: 1, 2, 4, 7 Support bringing previously "hymn-ed" files up-to-date (i.e. -- to support things like the iTunes 4.5 --> iTunes 4.6 upgrade breaking files decrypted with hymn 0.6.1). |  |
