Couple of services that let you play favorite music online, create playlists and share them with others

Pandora – lets you create dynamic playlists (aka radiostations) by simply entering favorite song, artist or album. For instance, creating a radiostation using keyword ‘eminem’ produces a dynamic playlist with mainly hip hop artists including eminem.
Musicovery – there is no option to create playlists but on the other hand you can specify what you would like to hear by selecting genre (reggae, hip hop, pop, …), mood (energetic, calm, etc) and even indicate desired time frame (60s, 70s, …)
But what I’m wondering, do you know of a free application that will let me remove the DRM protection from my m4p files in iTunes so I can play them elsewhere?
yeap, I know something that should do the trick. In makeuseof extra #12 there is a link to Hymn-Project, check it out.
