Yes. See these people. Their program will simultaneously remove the DRM from the file and transcode it to MP3 using the latest LAME encoder. The speed ranges from 1:1 up to 54x depending on how powerful your hardware is and the nature of your input files. [i.e., a dual-core 3GHz computer with 4 GB RAM running XP with Windows Media Player transcoding 27 input files simultaneously would be the optimum situation and would operate at 54x. My Vista box tops out at 20x]

I can personally attest that this program works as advertised.
