Napster and my iPod

Ok, well my college gives us free unlimited downloads from Napster. However, the downloads ar tethered so I can only play them on the Napster program. I cant burn discs of them or move them to my iPod. Well I heard there is a program that can get around this and allow me to put them in iTunes and thus on to my iPod. Does anyone know what this program is and how I can get it?
Thanks

did this work for you, and how long did it take per song? I want to sign-up for a free trial of napster and download 100000000 albums, and remove DRM. But if it takes too long, then it might not be worth it.

This program is amazing. It works almost instantly which is surprising! I did 15 songs at once (you can do as many at a time as you wish) and it took no more than a few secounds!

Im not quite sure what it is exactly. All I know is that its fast, really fast. I downloaded 15 songs from an album in a matter of seconds.

No, I mean how many kbps does music from Napster have? Downloaded music usually doesn't have great sound quality, but if Napster has good quality maybe I'll give this a try.

its 128kbps stereo. Not bad if you dont want excellent quality, definitely reasonable.

If you aren't used to OiNk downloads, it's very reasonable.

What kind of bit rate does OiNK offer?

yeah, i don't really care if it is lossless quality audio or just 128. I only see a slight difference personally, but i guess other people are really sensitive about the quality.

nothing lower than 192kb/s constant is even allowed.
Most of the stuff averages at 244 variable or 320kb constant

That's awesome.
How can I get an invite?

i know there are 5000 threads about this, but could somebody send me an invite. I hear a lot of posts about people talking about Oink, and just want to check it out. Do they have a lot of albums? And do these torrents make their way onto torrentspy.com like demonoid and a bunch of other "invite only" torrents. I wouldnt mind the extra quality from my 128, i usually just download whatever but nothing under 128.

I know everyone says refer to the other topic but I'll go check mine and see if I can hook you guys up, but remember, you have to maintain a ratio and uploaded like twice as much as you download. My ratio is like 4.-- because I'm so 1337. PM me though.
Sidenote To answer your question about them having a lot of albums, they have about every one you could think of and if they don't have it you can always request it. )

wow thats awesome, but can anyone answer my question about it really being private, or just being spread everywhere. And if you invite me, I will keep my ratio up. I have some CDs I can rip and upload, but i'm unsure is someone else has uploaded it.

OiNk is pretty private, I kind of got lucky with my invite, someone approached me exactly like I approached you (tylerc). You just have to search the CD's and then figure out the best way to rip them in high quality.
