Protected Music Converter

[Temika]

ProtectedMusic Converter is an application to convert protected and unprotected music audio files to current and unprotected music audio files formats, such as WMA, MP3, WAV or OGG.

The program installation is fast and simple without external extras nor drivers.

Once the music is converted it can be played on the user PC, iPod, external player devices, saved to mobile drives or memory units, uploaded to mobile phones, or burned to audio CDs. Protection free music can be played or transported in many devices or players.

The conversion process can be a batch process, a list of files will be converted one by one without user intervention. User interface is easy to learn and use, very graphical and simple. The protected files are added to the batch list, define the output format and as the user press the "start" button, conversion begins. If the user wants to convert files to a repetitive output format, it is possible to create a "custom profile" button, so there's no necessity of selecting output format every time the user desires to convert a new music file.

Most protected music files are bought from online music stores (like iTunes, Napster, Rhapsody, etc). This music is protected by DRM (Digital Rights Management) technology. It does not allow you to copy protected music as many times as you want on your favorite portable device or another computer. Protected Music Converter can help to resolve this problem.

Protected Music Converter is the perfect choice to convert your music from WMA format to MP3. It doesn't matter whether the file is DRM-protected or not. The only condition for successful conversion is that your source file should be playable on your computer. In this case, you can convert without any problem.

In addition, changing audio format with this software is quick and easy, thanks to its intuitive interface. All options needed for conversion are located in a prominent and convenient location. There is nothing superfluous that can mislead you. The program is ready for conversion immediately after installation. All you need is to add your file, specify desirable output format settings and start. As you can see, it's very simple. You can find the optimal settings for listening to the converted mp3 files on your portable device (like iPod, iPhone, iPad, mobile phone, laptop or another device). You can also easily define your custom settings and save them for later use.

It supports conversion of audio and video formats, like iTunes M4P, audiobooks in M4B, AAC and M4A, video MP4 format, widely known MP3, WAV, OGG and others. And you can choose the output format from the following: WMA, MP3, OGG, WAV.

"I have about 200 protected AAC audio files in my iTunes library, which are not playable on my MP3 player! How can I convert these iTunes protected files to MP3 so that I can put them on my MP3 player for listening?"

There are many people looking for available ways to convert protected AAC to MP3 on the internet. The truth is that unlike plain audio without DRM protection, protected AAC can't be easily converted to MP3 without a professional protection bypassing tool (which I am going to share with you in this post). Even though you can find some AAC to MP3 converters online, none of them supports converting protected AAC indeed. Because they are only equipped with a normal MP3 encoder but lack DRM-removal technology.

Key takeaway:

To successfully get your protected AAC audio files converted to MP3, you will need the right tool, TuneFab iTunes Music Converter, which is able to convert streaming Apple Music, audiobooks, podcasts, and even iTunes-purchased songs to MP3 without hassle.

FairPlay is a digital right management (DRM) technology developed and used by Apple to prevent content from being copied, shared or played on non-authorized devices. This makes sense why you can't play protected AAC audio files on Android phones, Zune, Sonos hi-fi systems and other non-Apple devices.

Songs purchased from iTunes before 2009 were called Protected AAC audio file. But since April 2009, Apple has stopped adding DRM protection in iTunes music and used a new, high-quality format called iTunes Plus as the default format for music buying from iTunes Store. The DRM-free AAC audio file is also called iTunes purchased AAC audio file. While music now in the Apple Music streaming service is protected, and it's called Apple Music AAC audio file. You need to remove FairPlay DRM protection so that you can play them on other devices.

The quickest way to convert protected AAC to MP3 from Apple Music or iTunes purchases is by using TuneFab iTunes Music Converter. This is a desktop program compatible with both Mac and Windows and lets you convert songs, playlists, albums, or audiobooks from your iTunes library.

Actually, there're 2 options available for you. The first option is to use an iTunes Match subscription and the second option is to burn protected AAC audio files to CD, then rip them from CD to MP3 format with iTunes.

Note: There is no guarantee that all protected AAC songs can be upgraded successfully. Generally the same album or song must also still be available in the iTunes Store otherwise you won't be able to convert or upgrade these protected AAC or M4P files into DRM-free version.

To convert protected aac to MP3 in this way requires you to prepare a blank CD first. If there are tons of songs you wish to convert, you'll need more than one and change the CD during burning. It's time-consuming to complete the whole process as well.

Moreover, it might cause quality loss after these burning procedures. Thus, I won't rank this method as the first option. Here's how to burn the protected AAC to CD and import the MP3 songs from the CD back to your computer.

The main reason is that these files are protected by DRM encryption, and the content is encrypted during storage and transmission. DRM systems assign specific digital licenses to each user, specifying the usage rights for the content, which also includes format conversion.

First, check their file types. If they are Protected AAC audio files or Apple Music AAC audio files, as mentioned in the first part of this article, iTunes cannot directly convert them to MP3 because these file types are protected by DRM. To convert these songs to MP3, you can use third-party tools like TuneFab iTunes Music Converter.
