Getting around Apple DRM

If a friend has purchased some music through iTunes that you'd like top copy, but you can't cause it has the Apple DRM on it, there is still an easy way to get a copy. Just have your friend burn the music to a CD (as an audio CD, not a data or MP3 CD). Once the music is on a CD, you can put the CD in your computer and import the music. It'll come on with the DRM removed. It's a slow, manual, process but if you are just looking to grab a CD or two, this isn't too bad of a way to copy music.

Copy CD is a little complex, and sometime not good to use.
The easist way I found is to find a converter to help you remove DRM so that you can use as you want.
