Removing DRM from iTunes songs on the Mac
I do not like buying music with DRM (digital rights management, also known as copy protection). It is a real pain removing it from, for example, anything I buy from iTunes. There used to be a utility called JHymn, but it broke when Apple brought out iTunes version 6. Since then, on the Mac, there hasn’t been any way to remove DRM from iTunes songs without manually burning a CD and re-importing the tracks.
Until recently…
I have just discovered a free utility, DRMDumpster from BurningThumb, which works and only requires a CD-RW to do its magic. Not as quite as slick as JHymn, but better than messing around burning the CD yourself. It works well for me and was worth a donation to the author.
