JHymn 0.6.3: Remove DRM from AAC Music Files

Yet another method to remove the digital rights management (DRM) from the iTunes Music Store's encrypted AAC files has emerged. This one is called JHymn and is part of the Hymn Project. They seem to be truly motivated by wanting to use their full fair use rights under copyright law, but nevertheless are aiding pirates in their hunt for booty.

As expected, this is use-at-your-own-risk and subsequent iTunes updates may screw things up. The lesson is that you should back up your original copies before attempting to remove the DRM and set them aside in case Apple figures out how to spoil the fun in a later release.
