Something tells me Apple isn't particularly happy with software that
can convert iTunes songs to MP3s.

Yes, Apple is REALLY upset that songs purchased on iTunes can be
converted into mp3 using..... iTunes. 9_9

Since when can iTunes convert AACs to MP3s?
Somehow, I don't see Apple giving away the ability to convert
purchased (and playable only on Apple hardware) songs to something
that can be played pretty much universally.
