From the article: “Also, the SDK should allow people to play AAC files (including those purchased from iTMS) through WinAMP”
Poorly researched article.
Winamp has had AAC support for a while, natively and through plug-ins. Winamp has also been able to play iTMS’ DRM-ed files as early as last OCTOBER, via plug-in.

eric, WinAMP playing iTMS DRM-ed files via plugin happens to be played on QuickTime, WinAMP is merely a shell to remote control QuickTime. This is according to my last checks, I don’t think anyone else have figured out the decryption scheme other than hymn.

Great.
Now if they would release an SDK that actually let you use the technology to make some cool stuff. This is more of a PR gesture than anything.
