How to Remove DRM (Digital Rights Management) From iTunes Music,

Movies and Audiobooks

The latest version of iTunes is version 12 and with it comes new types of files, file encryption,

and DRM protected media. Let's look at some of these new types of files as well as solutions

that will allow you to remove the DRM protection so that you can enjoy your iTunes movies and

music on any device.

REMOVE DRM FROM AAC: (Advanced Audio Coding)

AAC is an audio file format commonly used in audiobooks, iBooks and extended length audio

files. While most computers and portable devices are fully functional with AAC there are still

many countries offering MP3 players and smartphones that cannot support the file format, for

this reason many iTunes customers will opt to convert AAC to MP3 using software like that

available from drmstomper. This will allow users to convert their Audible Audiobooks, iBooks

and even Amazon audio files to an open source MP3 file that can be played on any device for

free.

REMOVE DRM FROM AIFF: (Audio Interchange File Format)

Probably the most popular audio file format being served by Apple, and the bane of Mac users

everywhere is the AIFF file format. A typically heavy file format with with near loss-less

compression; the AIFF can cause compatibility issues on many popular devices. To convert

AIFF to MP3 is a fairly simple process but will be slightly different depending on whether users

will be converting AIFF to MP3 on the Mac, or will be using an AIFF to MP3 file converter for

PC.

some non-protected AIFF files can be converted to MP3 right within the iTunes dashboard. To

convert your non DRM protected AIFF files simply follow the steps below:

1) Open iTunes

2) Select Edit/Preferences/iTunes/Preferences and click the "General" button followed

by the "Importing Settings" button.

3) Choose a song or audio file from your iTunes libary followed by "File/Create New

Version".

4) You'll have 5 file formats to choose from MP3, AAC, AIFF, WAV and Apple Lossless file

format. Converting to MP3 is recommended.

If you don't see the audio file or songs you'd like to convert go ahead and import the

media as normal and the converted copy will appear in your iTunes library.

REMOVING DRM FROM APPLE LOSSLESS FILE FORMAT:

Apple Lossless is an annoying file format that pretty much locks you into Apple products

and devices, but in just a couple minutes you can convert this troublesome file format to

FLAC, MP3 or whatever file format you like. Use DrmStomper's Apple Lossless file

converter to convert your Apple files to any of the following file formats.

You can optionally convert all of your Apple Music to MP3 using the same converter.

REMOVING DRM FROM GOOGLE PLAY MUSIC: (CONVERT OGG TO MP3)

OGG files are commonly used by Google Play as well as AAC files. As the free AAC to

MP3 file converted was covered above, we'll focus solely on converting OGG files to

MP3. OGG was originally intended as an open, free audio file format designed for

unrestricted use. Since then however many media provider have applied DRM protection

to OGG files which severely limit the user experience and functionality.

To convert your OGG files to MP3 simply use the OGG to MP3 file converter at

DrmStompers.

In addition to DRM protected audio, many video file formats are also DRM locked such

as iTunes M4V files. These iTunes movies are probably the most popular Google

single click. Users can optionally choose to import all their iTunes M4V movies right into

the DrmStomper dashboard and convert them all to MP4 in one click.

to import your entire media libary in one click even if the DRM protected file types are

mixed. Try the DrmStomper free and premium file converter and DRM remover today.
