Music Technology SharpMusique

I finally got set-up with SharpMusique, the free iTunes Music Store interface, without the DRM! Being quite a bit against DRM, I hadn't yet used the iTunes Music Store, but now that I've went around the DRM problem I'm more than ready to buy download-only releases, such as Konishi Yasuharu's recently started label columbia*readymade is promising.

Since I'm using Windows, I'm running SharpMusique 0.4, while version 1.0 is already available for Linux. I had some trouble getting started as an unrelated DLL in my system32 folder was in the way. Renaming iconv.dll to something else made it work!

What exactly des SharpMusique do? It turns songs purchased on iTMS into regular files with no DRM?

Not exactly. Songs purchased from iTMS do NOT contain any DRM, but iTunes adds DRM after the download!
SharpMusique allows to buy from iTMS but doesn't add DRM to the files.
