Also needed to be added to the time process is, well theres not to much to do with the unencrypted AAC file, except then convert it to MP3 so that you could share it, or use it with portable players other than the iPod. Unfortunately, the entire process is almost four times longer than just using iTunes to burn the file to CD, then ripping it back as an MP3 file, or any other format you desire. What all this effort gets you is a file that is close to an exact unecrypted copy of the AAC file. Then you have to go back and add all the proper music headers so that the file is actually usable (the file is useless in its dumped state). Not only do you have to have an account and legal access to the music file, you have to start playing the music file so that QuickTime will begin the decryption process, and then the file gets dumped as a raw AAC file to disk. Ironically though the benefits of it really aren't that great, at least at this stage. It doesn't really crack Apple's DRM as opposed to attempts to get around it. ![]() Which means that you have to have legal access to the music (an authorized account on an authorized machine) to even use the code. Ironically, despite all the headlines indicating that iTunes DRM was hacked, the truth is, as the Jon posts on his website, the application or rather the code, ONLY dumps the file from memory to hard drive.
