Our new podcast: Meet...
We know. Podcasts are so last year - but this one you won't want to miss. Whether it’s a rumor that won’t die, a new product announcement, or just a really good Macintosh or iPhone app find that we have to let you know about, we’ll make sure it’s covered on Appletellcast.
iPhone App Reviews
iPhone Apps. They were great when the App Store was first announced and we could all pick and chose what we wanted, but the number is now overwhelming. Here at Appletell, we'll detail the great iPhone apps we find, and steer you clear from those that aren't worth it even if they're free.
iPhone Game Reviews
As Apple turns the iPhone into one of the most popular gaming devices, the staff of Appletell--gamers and Apple fans alike--are here to help you get the most entertainment value out of your app store purchases.






Despite EMI selling DRM-free songs, there is still a lot of music on the iTunes store that is protected by Apple’s Fair Play DRM software. The most obvious way to strip Fair Play is to burn your DRM-ed music onto a CD and then re-rip it, loosing some of the quality in the process.
Fortunately, MacLife has just published another two methods that are worth trying. The first requires the use of Audio Hijack ($16 from RogueAmoeba) to record the sound being played back in iTunes. The recorded file is then edited in iMovie and re-imported into iTunes.
The second method uses iMovie alone. This is simpler than the first, and does not require Audio Hijack either. Import your DRM-ed music into iMovie and then export it as an AIFF file. Once back in iTunes, you can then re-encode to MP3/AAC/Apple Lossless back in iTunes.
Note that tempering with DRM software is considered illegal in some parts of the world. Do so at your own risk.
