I heard that it is possible to strip the DRM from itunes ACC files, so I was wondering if there is a program for Pocket PC that will let me play these files (once they have been striped of there DRM) ??

Also, does anyone know the name of the program that strips the DRM from AAC files ? Someone gave me a link to it ages ago, but now I carnt find it.

If you Google iTunes and Pocket PC you'll find several answers, including the name of the program.

I did, it found nothing relevant at all. The only two programs it found were "ppcTunes" (which is totally useless as all it does is copy MP3s over and doesnt convert or even touch AACs), and another program which was just a itunes skin for a pocket pc MP3 player app - so both were completly pointless.

What ive been doing is burning my songs to CD then ripping them again, but its a time consuming and painfull process as I have a large itunes music store collection... why carnt someone just write a program for PDAs that would allow the playback of protected AACs ?

Anyone know the name of the program that removes DRM ?

The program that has been mentioned on DS previously is Hymn. When I Googled I found it, plus some information about how it doesn't work with the current version of iTunes and what you can or can't do about it.

It doesnt work on any music purchesed using itunes since version 5, so you carnt just downgrade to make it work... it also appears that the program hasent been updated in over a year. Urrgh.

Is it really this hard ?
