Reformat Using iMovie HD
With this method, you use iMovie HD ($79 as part of iLife ’06, www.apple.com) to import a FairPlay-protected song into a movie. You then export the sound to an AIFF song. This method isn’t efficient, but it works. There’s an application called FairGame (free, http://seidai.50webs.com) that can animate the process, but we ran into problems with FairGame when converting multiple files.
Click Place At Playhead, and your song appears in the Timeline.
1. Import into iMovie HD
In iMovie HD, create a new project. Import the song by clicking the Media tab, and in the library window atop the right window pane, select iTunes. Find the song you want, select it, and click Place At Playhead. iMovie HD will place the song in the Timeline.
