Bypass iTunes DRM and Play iTunes M4P Songs on Android Phones, MP3 Player

People who have purchased music from iTunes store would meet a big problem directly. Whatever you try to do, you seem to be unable to save your purchased iTunes music to a non-Apple MP3 player, Android phone or another computer. The iTunes software won’t let you do that, presumably because Apple wants you to play your music on an iPod. So you are probably facing the same circumstance as Dean.

“I just go a brand new HTC phone, but I can’t discover how to put iTunes music on my small Android HTC Hero! It only lets me take music from windows media center, but I have no music onto it at all. While I have obtained a lot of songs from iTunes, so I actually want to get these iTunes tracks to try out on my Android phone HTC Hero, will there be ANY way to achieve that? How?” -Dean

You may also have a lot of bought iTunes music and try to import all or some of these iTunes songs on to the non-Apple device, so you can use them in the various music players available. But how? Really feel depressed, right? Shouldn’t I be able to listen to it on any player I like once I buy a song from iTunes? The similar problem comes to Apple Music too.

Why iTunes music can’t be imported to non-Apple MP3 player like other music files do?

The music in iTunes is encoded with something called DRM (gestione dei diritti digitali), which is designed to prevent unauthorized copying of purchased music. It is possible to get unprotected music, but only in a format called AAC, which is much less widely supported than the industry standard MP3 format. Unless you got songs from iTunes very recently as DRM-free iTunes audio files, your iTunes music purchases are DRM locked right down to only work with iTunes, an iPod, i phone, or Apple TV which will help prevent users playing iTunes copyright protected content on other non-Apple device like Samsung Galaxy, Sony Xperia, LG G6, HTC 10, HTC Hero…

What we need to bypass iTunes music DRM and get iTunes songs to operate with Android phones

Android Phone (such as Samsung, HTC, Huawei, LG, Sony…) or MP3 Player

The DRM music removal software we used is iTunes DRM Audio Converter. It could remove DRM protection from any DRM locked music purchased in iTunes and invite you to transfer any song in your Android device like Samsung Galaxy series, HTC Touch , Telefono Windows, tablets and so on. In particular, this iTunes DRM Audio Converter can also be used as Apple Music Converter as well as Audiobook Converter.

These are the two approaches to solve your problem – burn audio CDs of your iTunes purchases and re-rip them with all the iTunes, or get some aid from DRM music removal software that can batch convert iTunes DRM music files to non-Apple devices easily. Burning CDs may take an extremely very long time, while using software works quickly.

Some people may say “Dump iTunes and start using Amazon MP3 for it works on Android and iPods”. It sounds easy, but it doesn’t work for people who have thousands of dollars already tied up in the iTunes. Luckily, new music from iTunes does not have digital rights.

Nota: The latest Apple Music is also encoded with DRM, which limits people from accessing from any device once the subscription expired. It is a good idea to make a copy of the song on computer and it can be easily done with these Apple Music to MP3 converters.
