I want to play iTunes songs on my Zen mp3 player and cannot do so because of Apple's lame DRM. Anyone know away around this?
I looked into JHymn, but they can't yet crack 6.0 iTunes DRM.

But that wouldn't be breaking it, would it?
Besides, I want to be able to play the stuff on any machine, including non-iPod machines, non-iTunes machines, etc. I've got a Zen mp3 player, but I hadn't considered the Apple DRM until after I bought it.

Get a good iron mallet. Nothing breaks stuff like a good iron mallet.

Getting back on topic, I'm reasonably sure that you can get past any music DRM by burning the tracks as an audio CD and then just re-ripping them as normal, non-DRMed MP3s.
At least, I've done that before. Might be a bit of a waste/take forever if you have a large collection, tho.

Good idea.

I just burned them to CD and converted them back to mp3. So annoying. If I unlazy myself and find a CD emulator, maybe I'll whip up a script to automate this.

That's a solution, but you're introducing yet another level of lossy compression, so the quality will go down.

But, but, but...that would be using analog output! God forbid that the simplest method of getting rid of DRM is to just re-record the sound. That's unimpossible.
Funny that people are worrying about absolute quality when they are a lossy compression in the first place.
