Converting m4p files...



Google seems to be giving me lots of conflicting information about whether
this is or isn't possible...


I made the mistake of buying a couple of tunes through Apple's iTunes
store a few weeks ago, using the copy of iTunes on my girlfriend's PC. I
couldn't find the songs anywhere else, and it seemed like a perfectly
legal thing to do - buy them from Apple, then move them to my Linux box
so the only copies that existed were the copies that I paid money for.

Unfortunately I didn't figure on Apple having a proprietary DRMed audio
format. Yeah yeah, I know now and won't ever throw any business Apple's
way in the future.

In the meantime, does anything exist under Linux to rip the DRM garbage
out of the *legal* audio files that I handed over cash for, so that I can
convert them to a format of my choice and listen to them on whatever I
want to?

cheers

Jules (grrr!!)
