What is The Analog Hole?
What has the analog hole got to do with digital music you may ask? After all, it has the word 'analog' in it for a start, so what possible link could there be? To find out what it is and how it is exploited to circumvent DRM copy protection, read this short definition article. Read more

What is FairPlay DRM?
FairPlay is a copy protection system that is used by Apple to encrypt some of the content on its iTunes Store. Thankfully digital music from the iTunes Store no longer comes shackled with FairPlay, but you may still have songs in your library that are DRM'd. To find out more, including how you can convert any copy protected iTunes songs you may have, read this short article on FairPlay. Read more

Have you got duplicate songs in your iTunes library that are just hogging valuable hard drive space?

Again, you'll probably need to convert these at a later date to a more popular format in order to work with them. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to use free AMR conversion software to create MP3s. Read more
