That'd be sweet to know. But I highly doubt that can be done. It's uber encrypted.

When you purchase a song off the iTunes Store, it's saved as an MP4.

There is definitely software to do it...I don't have any and don't know where to get it...but if you were interested you might wanna search Google for "hymn"

In Itunes, under Preferences, click the advanced tab and then click the burning tab and Itunes can burn a MP3 CD for you (which will probably not have any type of encryption on it). If it does, you can just burn them as a standard audio CD and they will have no protection and you can convert that to whatever you want (MP3, WMA & etc...)

I hope this helps. )

Or... Check out JHymn.

This [i6fd010de85]normally[/i6fd010de85] will convert the files. Songs purchased under certain versions of iTunes though, have an encryption that they haven't cracked yet.

JHymn doesn't work on anything past iTunes5, and Apple has pretty much shutdown iTunes5 and below.

In the meantime a lot of us former JHymn users are now using myFairTunes. You can read about it in the JHymn forums -- which reminds me, I had promised in the forums a few weeks ago to try to compile a patch into the new version since the author was on hiatus. Then I got busy and forgot. oops
