How to Convert Protected Audio Files to MP3 Format

In 2009, Apple removed the annoyingly restrictive FairPlay DRM (Digital Rights Management) protection from the iTunes music library.

Anti-piracy technology was introduced to combat the illegal sharing of music files. This meant that you could only play songs on Windows PCs and Macs, and on Apple devices such as your iPhone, iPad or iPod.

Songs you purchased between 2003 and 2009 still contain DRM. However, you can bypass the copy protection and enjoy your music files on any DRM-protected device.
