iTunes Plus offers music files that have higher bit-rate and that are DRM free. Such tunes cost the same 99 cents, so there is no sense to get copy-protected files for the same price and remove DRM protection from them.
If you can't find some tune at iTunes Plus or you have some audio files downloaded some time ago, you can use lossless and lossy DRM removal software.
There are only two question:
- Do you have Mac OS or Windows?
- Are your M4A files DRM protected ('coz DRM protected songs at iTunes have M4P extension) ? |
Answers, info, more questions:
Windows 2000. It looks like the M4A files are all the ones that were brought in off of CD's. So, they won't have any DRM protection. Looks like I just need to un-DRM the downloaded files.
Additional questions:
So, based on what you said, I can just batch rename the m4a files to mp4 and they will work fine ?
Is there some way (software?) to wholesale export all my music to Win Media Player complete with ID tags and all, still sorted, etc ? I'm trying to get them there to move to another device that only loads from Win MP.
