Yeah, DVD Jon has created waves in the past, thought I doubt this will.

Reason being:

From what I gathered, all this software does is read the itunesdb and
transcode the music to another format. (big deal?) Not to mention,
transcodes sound like crap, tools that break DRM are somewhat useful,
this is not. And it's not a new idea, other software exists for similar
purposes.
