      Description: Utility for removing DRM on AAC files

      Long Description: The purpose of hymn is to allow you to excercise your fair-use rights under copyright law. It allows you to free your iTunes Music Store purchases from their DRM restrictions with no sound quality loss. These songs can then be played outside the iTunes environment, even on operating systems not supported by iTunes. It works on Mac OS X, many Unix(-ish) variants and on Windows.
