JHYMN MP4 to WAV file conversion Tool

~Dj M~ 12:50 AM - 18 October, 2005
I have been using this program called Jhymn to unlock mp4's and convert them to mp3's... (in the past i would have to burn them to a cd as wavs and then rip them back as mp3's

Its not working today and I don't know what I have done different if anything. Its a very weird program.. Sometimes it doesn't work and I don't know why.

Anyway, this is what happened when I tried to convert this time..It says,

"A file could not be unlocked (and then it lists a song name)
Store ID: johnmady7"

"Would you like to log into your music store account through JHymn and attempt to obtain the keys needed to unlock your music?"

I select yes then it goes on and it says

"your tansaction with the music swtore failed with this error:

"failed 'authorizeMachine': This item requires a later version of iTunes to phurchase" (not true i don't think)..

"Please note that some errors are caused by nothing more than temporary network problems and can be solved by simply trying again later. This is especially true when you get any of these http respone codes: 408, 500, 502, 503, 504." (I also don't think its network problems that i'm having)"

So I don't know if this makes sense to anyone but if you know JHymn pretty well, then maybe you can help.

iTunes 6.0 Warning

It appears that if you make any purchases using iTunes 6.0, from that point on you must use 6.0 — and then JHymn won't work for you either. JHymn will have to learn how to perform the iTunes 6.0 protocol before this problem is likely to be fixed -- so hang on, it could be a bit of a wait.

In the meantime, you may wish to delay upgrading to iTunes 6.0 so that you can continue to free your music until a new solution is found.

use a program called 'pacifist' to re-install an old version of itunes from the restore discs that came with your machine.
