Yes, with iTunes Match you can upgrade previously purchased protected songs from 128 Kbps to 256 kbps AAC no DRM, but not all tracks are upgradable. Also iTunes Match subscription costs $24.99 per year. Ondesoft iTunes Converter can also remove DRM from Audible Audiobooks and Apple Music files.
Removing the DRM from Apple Music files would be illegal in Australia.
I'm not sure what you mean that not all tracks are upgradable with iTunes Match?Ondesoft iTunes Converter records the track while it is played with iTunes background, so it is legal.
Not all tracks are upgradable, usually because that version is no longer available.
I think Audiobooks still have DRM if you are into them. That and Apple Music tracks use DRM, from memory including matched tracks from your own library unless you maintain the iTunes Match subscription as well.
Not that I plan to use this app, but DRM is still there.
Doesn't iTunes offer the ability to create mp3 versions of songs?
DRM protected files can't be converted.
DRM protected files can be burned as an audio CD, a limited number of times, and you can rip that to MP3 (or Flac, or Ogg, or whatever).
It's been a while since I did this, I think the process was to make a playlist, and the playlist can be burned to CD. I vaguely recall that the "limited number of times" was for the playlist, but you can get around that by deleting the playlist and re-creating it.
Only disadvantage of this method is that you'll have to enter the MP3 metadata yourself.
Need something to strip the DRM off of the videos … and not a re-encoder.
There is a tool that does this, but it was something like $80 - which I thought rather pointless.
Just rent and pay, it's not like it breaks the bank.I've never rented a video. It's my purchased media I want to be able to stream to another TV in my house without having to buy another Apple TV or throw it on my non-apple tablet and watch when away from home. I have a wall of bluray movies, and a nas of my Ripped DVD's more often then not I use those lower quality rips rather then get the disc because it is just easier.. If they would sell me high quality media I can use where I want I'd have no issue paying for it.
you can rip blu ray with makemkv in one pass - and it's not a trascoder, it makes high quality 20+gb rips that plex can play. Ask me how I know.
iTunes music hasn't been sold or protected with any DRM since 2009. Still, there may be some songs saved in museums that haven't yet used iTunes Match to download non-DRM versions for free…..
