Anyway to unprotect copyrighted music?
The music I paid for using iTunes? I want to listed to it on my Sony/Erikson W600 Walkman Cell phone. I found a way to do it with earlier iTuners but nothing for the 6.0+ iTunes... How?

There may be a clever, computer based method... but I don't know it.
If you can't do any better, though, there'll never be a way to "copy protect" an analog signal cable... just play it out through an audio wire into your best recording input. Record it as a wave, or whatever you want. Free (and I mean "legit-free") recording software is all over the place.
Sory if that's a bone-head answer.

Sadly itunes DRM (digital rights management) is currently uncracked in it's present state. At least no openly available programs on the intarw3b at this time that will easily crack itunes for you. Thats why, imho bittorrent is the best way to get muzak, if you are so inclined not to pay for it.
sorry.. edit for drunkenness

Can someone recommend someplace else to buy individual songs on the Internet?
Beside itunes - I want legal copies, but not this stupid encrypted stuff that I can't play anywhere else.

Stolen from the JHymn website bb:
For those that have been using JHymn to unluck their ITunes purchased music but unforunately upgraded to ITunes 6 before they were aware of the ramifications, there is an easy alternative that will keep you rolling with ITunes and JHymn (at least for now). Simply uninstall ITunes 6, install a previous version of ITunes, use it to create a new profile on ITunes (and for all subsequent purchases), and you're all set. You won't be able to use JHymn on the music you had purchased using the account that you upgraded to ITunes 6, but most people unlock their music as soon as they download it so those songs are most likely already unlocked and/or converted to MP3 (and hopefully the original files are squirreled safely away for potential future use). I suggest making a note of which files were purchased with which account so that when the day comes that JHymn gets fixed or something else gets developed and for some reason you want to work with those locked files again, you'll know which account information to enter for the conversion process.
That will at least keep you going for the future, here is another idea:
I was looking for a virtual burner. Kind of like a virtual CD (lots to be found of these in the wild). Has anyone ever seen such a tool/program? Does it even exist?
Yep. It's called Alcohol 120% (and its baby brother, Alcohol 52%). They can be found at www.alcohol-soft.com .
One side effect is the speedup in the whole burn-rip-encode method, another is the ability to image "copy-protected" CDs... I've had good luck with all the different CD mangling formats so far.

Hope this helps someone.

To get music off iTunes can't you access the files by making them visible from your control panel? Once you make them visible pull them out of iTunes to wherever the hell you want on your computer hard drive and upload them to whatever the hell you want? I remember doing this through a tutorial a few months ago.

I have that same phone. I think the problem is that itunes files are mp4 and the phones walkman needs mp3.
