Is there any way to play purchased iTunes music on linux without decoding with hymn?

I just want to play my purchased music in linux.

Check out Rhythmbox, it should work for you.

I have some WMA files that I ripped from my own CDs (I own the CDs..i'm not stealing music) and these files I ripped a little bit ago. Since then I've gotten new computers and I would like to listen to the music. Turns out I forgot to turn off the protection on these WMAs and now I can't listen to them. The CD I had is lost and I can't find it (probably broken since its so old).

I've searched for windows programs to try and remove the protection..programs like unf*ck don't work for me. Are there any programs on linux that remove the drm protection for any protected music file like AAC, WMA's, etc.? Thanks.

if i remember right, the iTunes music are .m4a files, i used mplayer to play them them no problem

Rhythm box doesnt work for m4p, which is the protected files you get when purchasing from iTunes. Any other ideas?

Mplayer works fine for me as well.

Nope heres the output of mplayer when trying to open an mp4 file:

Cannot Find codec for audio format 0x736D7264

what version of mplayer are you using? Always try to get the cutting edge newest (sometimes unstable? or developers version) release for the best compatability.
