PlayFair is back, again
“The PlayFair free software project is back online, with both the maintainer of the project and the hosting service willing to face a legal challenge from Apple.
Apple last month shut down the free software project, which enables advanced audio coding (AAC) files downloaded from Apple iTunes to be played on platforms that Apple does not support. It does that by stripping the Digital Rights Management (DRM) mechanism from a song, provided the key for playing the song is available.
The project has been renamed Hymn, according to Anand Babu, the maintainer of the project. It is being hosted on two sites (http://playfair.org/ and http://hymn-project.org) by a U.S. hosting service provider. Babu said last month that the project would be hosted outside the U.S.”

Thank you kindly, Dennis. You know, like countless others, I just happen NOT to know anything about programming. But, hey, that may surprise people who travel in little, tiny circles.

...if you drag and drop the m4p file on top of the hymn executable, that’ll work
it’s a lot easier than writing a whole gui for it

I know this thread is dead, but I wanted to add that I also have had problems with re-imaging an authorized machine. A co-worker informed me today that he had a similar problem, and wrote apple and they quickly re-set his authoriziations. Just a FYI as it sounds like a good solution for several of those on this forum.
