Called Privatunes, it was developed by the founders of Ratiatum and the brand-new Matoumba news reader.

It's freeware which allows users who buy iTunes Plus tracks to wipe their tracks clean, erasing the AppleID (email address) and username.

That's pretty handy. It's ironic that it's created by a group that makes a news reader.

Update :
July 3rd 2007 - As many of you asked for it, Privatunes is now available for Mac OS X. Enjoy.
We are aware of the EFF findings and we'll be releasing a last update asap. After then source code will be made available for community improvements. Mac version replaces 0x20 by 0x00 as suggested.

Sweet, that's awesome that you found that site Moon. :wink:
Nice site to exercise your fair-use rights & to strip DRM from your iTunes Music Store purchases.
