Right now I'm in a situation that I really hate.

I have an iPhone (locked to O2 [boo] and running OS 2.0.2) and I have iTunes 7.7, but I hate DRM*.

I still buy music from the iTunes Music Store in spite of the DRM, but thanks to Requiem I can strip the DRM off and then I can play the music on anything I want to.

Now there's iPhone OS 2.1 and iTunes 8.

You can't install OS 2.1 without iTunes 8 being installed, and Requiem is not updated for 8 yet (if it ever will be), and there are applications in the App Store that require you to have OS 2.1 installed - including 3 apps I already have installed and now cannot update them!

I am really hoping that Brahms can update Requiem to cope with iTunes 8, or else I'm stuck not being able to buy music from the Music Store any more - and I like the simplicity of the store, in spite of the majority of tracks still having DRM added to them.


* All DRM (in any form) manages to achieve is to penalise the PAYING customers. It does NOT stop people downloading files illegally.

UPDATE: Requiem 1.8.2 is now out for Windows users!
