Playfair disappeared for a while and has returned under the name Hymn. Strip the DRM restrictions on your iTunes purchases and cast off your RIAA / WIPO / DMCA shackles. From the FAQ:
I wrote hymn because I, on principal, disagree with DRM. Although I clicked “accept” when presented with Apple Computer’s license agreement for the iTunes Music Store, I did not do so because I accepted it. I did it because I wanted to buy music in a high-quality format without the inconvenience of plastic, paper and a bunch of songs I didn’t want. Although according to the DMCA I am in the wrong, I do beleive that I am ethically in the right. I will never “accept” DRM. I will fight it through technology and activism. It is just plain wrong. We, the consumers of music are not pirates, criminals, enemies or terrorists, despite what the public relations campaign of the RIAA would have people believe.
