Any reason why to convert AAC to MP3? MP3 is inferior to AAC, so you will only loose quality this way. Better strip of the DRM part (a tool to do that was already mentioned).

Jam it back in, in the dark.

This is probably due to the facts that there isn't a whole lot of sense in investing energy deriving a process to conver from a superior codec to an inferior codec, and that MP3 only clearly specifies a decoder scheme, not an encoder.

Any hints where I can find information about this algo?

How ya doing, buddy?
