There are no longer any non-GPL dependencies (the mp4v2 library was MPL and, thus, incompatible with the GPL). The 0.6.0 release is pretty much a complete rewrite.
Babu continued PlayFair’s versioning, but rewrote much of the app to remove reliance on non-GPL dependancies. In May 2004, the PlayFair project was resurrected by Anand Babu, renamed to Hymn, moved to from, and released as version 0.6.0 with the support of the Free Software Federation of India. Some days later, Sarovar, an Indian free software development community started hosting PlayFair, but their Indian hosting provider was compelled by Apple to stop hosting the project by May 6. It then optionally copies the metadata tags that describe the song, including the cover art, to the new file.īy April 9, Apple forced SourceForge to remove the files on the basis of a DMCA complaint arguing against copy protection circumvention. It takes one of the iTMS Protected AAC Audio Files, decodes it using a key obtained from your iPod or Microsoft Windows system and then writes the new, decoded version to disk as a regular AAC Audio File. DVD Jon went on to incorporate QTFairUse’s techniques into VideoLAN’s VLC, and by May had integrated PlayFair back into the VLC codebase. PlayFair was created by an anonymous author, and was heavily based on QTFairUse which was built by DeCSS author “DVD” Jon Lech Johansen, and had been released in January 2004.
Hymn was originally known as PlayFair, which launched 5 April 2004 and was hosted by SourceForge. Hymn isn’t available any more, but this page exists to tell its story. Hymn (short for “Hear Your Music aNywhere”) was an application for removing FairPlay DRM from music bought from the iTunes Store.
