    Tunebite but you have to pay for it.

  • Yes, tunebite does work, I believe they do a trial version, limited to 30 seconds a track (which is no use) but at least you will be able to see if you like it.

  • There is a comment on the myFairTunes6 website

    "For gods sake, if you don't want DRM, don't buy the track."

    I totally agree, buy the CD and rip it yourself. Then you can do what you like with the tunes you have paid good money for!

  • The idea of iTunes was to offer a service which is easy to use and puts no limits on the user so why does it matter where we get our music, we have payed for it so people will do what they want with it.

    Actually there are limits with itunes, you don't buy the music, you are buying the license for the copyrighted material and there will be specific conditions in the license. What you do with the music is completely in the hands legally of the copyrightholder and it is up to them what restrictions they place on the license. Which is why discussing circumventing any copy protection is prohibited on these boards.

    Can there be a more convincing argument never to use iTunes, Napster and all the other music stores that flog punters a low quality product crippled by DRM?

    Best solution for music all round is to buy on cd in my opinion. Also worth remembering that whether there is DRM or not, any track in any format is still copyrighted. Even without DRM music is still completely in the hands legally of the copyrightholder
