iTunes encoded music on Axim?

esc2476 · 10-29-04, 10:33 AM

Hey All-

I have a windows computer, but an IPOD (along with everyone else in NYC) and was wondering if I could play some of my songs which are encoded for the IPOD on the Axim? Is there a program which does this?

Thanks!

I only heard of one program which reads apple format(I don't recall what the name of it was).

For my iTunes I've been doing the slow and painful 2 step.

iTunes -> CD -> WMA

Yeah, I was hoping to avoid that if I could, but thanks :)

There is a program available on the internet called HYMN that decrypts encoded iTunes music. It decrypts it to a music file that needs to be converted that an mp3. I dont remember what the music file type is after the decryption. There are a handful of programs out there that will convert the decrypted itunes file (I think its an audio mp4) to mp3. It may not work with newer versions of iTunes. HYMN is fast. Give it a try and let us know.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Decrypting itunes music files may be illegal regardless if you legally purchased the music and/or if you are going to use it for personal use. I in no way endorse such practice. I also will not be held responsible for any actions taken against you if you do decide to decrypt itunes music files. I am only providing the above information in response to a question that was posted on this board. Do not ask me how to use any program to decrypt music files as I will not tell you. Any user who decides to use the above information for illegal puposes do so at their own risk.
