there is a quality loss, you will always be able to re-encode DRM protected music, but there is a loss.


cracking the DRM would be getting to the encoded code out of the "encryption", without a re-encode.


there a numerous ways to re-encode a AAC file purchased from the iTunes Music Store.

    depends on how the re-encode works. Putting a microphone up to the speaker is one thing, picking up bits direct from the original is another. Can't say I know enough about this yet to say which one it is, but I'm inclined to believe it's direct bits because it happens within WM9, so there's no analog conversion.
