Requiem with iTunes is very nice.

I was having a hard time finding a good application that allowed me to migrate my bought music to my other computers in my house or in my car or on my non-apple music players.  I found a great program called Requiem that helped me out by removing the DRM on those specific songs.  You see I’m the firm believer that I don’t want to “rent” a song or application from a company I want to own it and take it to any computer without having to worry if I have to authorize one of my other computers to be able to play it.  Not only that I really dislike iTunes as a player.  I’d rather use another software application.

Anyway one of the drawbacks is that if you’ve already updated to iTunes 8.02 or greater you’re screwed.. well just about.  You basically need to stay at 8.01 iTunes and Requiem 1.8.2 will decrypt these files for your personal use on your other devices.

You may be asking “where can I get requiem?”.  Try the pirate bay.  Yes, that’s right.. bit torrents.  Seach for “requiem itunes” and you’ll come across it.  I suggest scanning the zip file for viruses as well - I didn’t find anything but I also don’t trust stuff from bit torrents.

Disclaimer: Wetwired does not suggest sharing any copywritten music.  The staff at wetwird do not, nor should you.  As an added bonus if you were to crack the DRM your personal information is still stored in these files so if you were to share them with someone else that information will flow back to Apple and guess who will be out?  Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
