If you use any of the online digital music stores to buy music downloads, you might be pretty unhappy with the limited amount of things you can do with it. This new software called Tunebite doesn’t copy the file, or crack the protection; it simply records the file again to a separate file while you play it back. Tunebite records in OGG format but can also record mp3 files. Because of the method it uses to provide you with unrestricted files, its use will be completely legal in most countries.
For those who are unfamiliar with legal downloads, the files you get aren’t copy protection free. Some examples of the protected formats you can get are Apple FairPlay and Microsoft Digital Rights Management (DRM). You might be limited to play a song using only the products by the company that sold it to you. Tunebite was written for people who believe they got a bad deal by getting these files, and it gives you a chance to legally copy the music to unrestricted files, so you can do with it as you wish.
