I'm not sure if this is something that nobody talks about but circumventing apples protected AAC DRM format is really not a problem at all. I hear complaint after complaint about not being able to use iTunes music on various other mp3 players. Converting a Protected AAC to an mp3 is very simple to do all with iTunes. Simply take your purchased music from iTunes and burn onto a CD. Once complete eject the disk then reinsert. Make sure your import settings are set to mp3(or desired format). Import the disc into iTunes. You then will be asked if you wish to overwrite the original or keep it in your library (Some may choose to keep the original for whatever reason). Presto DRM free mp3 files. If you have not overwritten the original version you can go into you iTunes music via a finder window or the iTunes app and see the two versions of the songs, one with the mp3 ext and one with the protected mp4 ext. This method of course would be wasteful for one song. I need the CD for my car, which I cannot use my iPod in, if you never need the disk some will view this method as wasteful. Although the CD cost just might be worth the freedom to do what you want with YOUR music.
