I'm surprised that I haven't updated this section since playfair came out. No doubt everyone has noticed by now that the link in the previous entry is dead.
Playfair was renamed Hymn (Hear Your Music aNywhere), and then another fellow rewrote the whole thing in Java as JHymn. JHymn is now the tool to use, as it also supports a generic UI for removing atoms from the mp4 files it processes. You can download it from the Hymn Project website.

Posted by: Jeff at February 12, 2005 08:02 PMHaving iTunes 6 and a Sansa M-250 mp3 player, I was really interested in Hymn. Then I read about it not working with iTunes 6, ugh. Not to be discouraged, I wrote an applescript that can take a playlist of protected AAC songs in iTunes and re-rerecord them as mp3s using Audio Hijack Pro. It's not an ideal solution, I know, but it is completely painless - it even copies the mp3 tag info from the AAC files to the mp3s. I wrote this to finally get my large collection of iTunes-purchased songs onto my Sansa - start it up at bed time and by morning you're all set wtih mp3s to drop right on the player.
