Requiem 1.7.4 iTunes DRM Remover

Go here for Requiem 1.8.6 -> http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/4775230 - Requiem 1.7.4, released September 1 - Compatible with both Windows and Mac! Requiem is an open source program that will strip the DRM from your iTunes music and video files. While people have found other ways around the DRM, such as burning their music and ripping it, that will lose sound quality. That's where this program comes in - it not only removes the DRM from music AND videos, it does so losslessly. DISCLAIMER: Do not expect Requiem to decrypt video rentals. This was only intended for purchases, but even if you attempted to, don't expect it to work. - Changes since last version - * handle internationalized Windows installations - This means if your path is in another language (such as German), it will find the Windows path with no problems * modify how we get the product ID - This (probably) means a better way of getting the product keys - Requirements - * You must be running iTunes 7.7.1 and be authorized to play the content you want decrypted. * As of this date, Quicktime 7.5 works. If you have a lower version of Quicktime and it doesn't work, update it to version 7.5 * You'll need to install Java (http://www.java.com/getjava/) if you want to use the the Java GUI that is included that can be used on both Windows and Mac platforms. Just double click on the Requiem.jar file and the GUI will come up. (However, for Mac users, I would recommend the RequiemDroplet.app because it is easier to use because of the Drag & Drop feature.) ================================================================================= Three last notes to end on: 1. Do NOT share your de-DRM'd iTunes purchases on a file-sharing network. Why? Apple has personal information in your purchased content. Requiem does not remove the personal information from your files. Your identity is at stake and Apple could ban your account (at the very least) if caught. (I, OompahLoompah108, have no control of this feature in Requiem, I am just the uploader, not the developer.) 2. I need to thank legodude83089 from Demonoid for initially distributing these files. I'm just putting them up here at TPB because it's more popular and registering is not required for downloading. You can find the same version here: www. demonoid .com /files/details/1604800/775222/ And of course, I should thank Brahms, the creator of Requiem. 3. Please obey the Golden Rule of File-Sharing, "Share with others, as you would want others to share with you." Okay, I made up that quote - but please, share as long as you can, even a week is much appreciated. Thanks in advance. Cheers! :)

REQUEST: If the developer reads this, please add support for iTMS Audiobook files (*.m4b) to RequiemDroplet.app. They're protected just like the other files, but the droplet doesn't recognize that. Renaming them to *.m4p allows them to be unwrapped, so I think it's a matter of just making the droplet aware of the .m4b file extension?

@mrabuse, yeah, .m4b files are just the same type of encrypted AAC audio in an MP4 container. Apple just uses the .m4b extension to enable a few of the audio book features in iTunes and on iPods.

Excellent! Spent a weekend trying to fix a buddy's inability to move files from iTunes to iPod. The only thing I can find is the Fairplay listed files refuse to transfer, while non-Fairplay files purchased on the same day do xfer. Of course, Apple wants me to deauth/reauth the desktop. Like I didn't try that first! Anyway, this little program works great and works fast. You can bet that I'll leave it seeding forever.

Does not work with iTunes 8. Stick with iTunes 7 for now.

Good news about requiem and iTunes 8.0 -- a quote from the requiem freenet page:
"2008/09/09: News flash - iTunes 8.0 breaks Requiem. I'm working on it."
:)

@menthar56,
Thanks for the news. Being that I don't have Freenet, I can't post what Brahms reports.
Earlier today, though, I did, however, saw similar news on Wikipedia under the FairPlay article; but since anyone can edit, I preferred not to report it.
Thanks again, and to all uploaders here, I would like to give many thanks to you all!
Cheers! :)

More interesting info:
If you open the .m4a file (which is the DRMless version) in a hex editor, you can see some of your personal info such as your name and email.
Filling these with random bytes won't hurt the file at all, but I'm not sure if there's more info within the file (such as an account number) to identify you as the purchaser. But you can at least hide your name and email.
Also, still not new info on a requiem for itunes 8.0, but I'm checking the freenet page often.

I ran this on iTunes8-bought protected files on Linux with wine and iTunes 7. Lo and Behold: it decrypted.
Thanks to all who contributed to this NIFTEH app.
