UnDRM doesn't mean Digital->Analog-Digital (#2), but it does mean Compressed->Uncompressed->Compressed, which I suppose you could think of as the modern equivalent in terms of quality dropping conversion processes. I'm hoping/assuming that ISN'T what Hymn actually does, and therefore no quality drop is introduced.

For un-drming why don't you use jhymn? It's cross platform and GPL'd. http://hymn-project.org/ I use it and it works like a charm. - b glasscock

I love Audio Hijack Pro. A lot of the bands I listen to only have their stuff streaming on Purevolume.com, so it's nice to be able to rip the stream and listen to it.

it means doing a an digital/analog/digital conversion. In other words, playing usually compressed lossy DRM audio in analog, and resampling that and recompressing that. DRM I do know about is actually more lenient than my personal usage patterns, but if your libarary crashes, and you wish you had a back up rather than ripping from scratch, or rebuying downloaded tracks (I haven't bought many), you start to rethink what flexibility you may have lost.

Un DRM your music? Does that mean making protected files from iTunes unprotected?
