<p>Q: "I’ve purchased a bunch of music from iTunes and have enjoyed listening to them on my computer. But my portable music player is not an Apple iPod, so I can’t take my songs with me. I know that I can burn it but I don’t have a cd burner on my computer so I need a different method. Is there any way I can get around this unfair restriction and transfer my iTunes music to MP3 player?"</p><p>A: Music files from iTunes are DRM-protected. In order to play them on mp3 players other than iPod and iphone, you need a special program to help strip off the protection and convert the iTunes m4p, m4b, m4a music to mp3. I always use wondershare music converter. My friend introduced it to me. It can convert the songs from iTunes at very high speed.</p><p>Most of the files purchased from iTunes Store are DRM protected i.e. you can play them only on specific devices and computers. You cannot use the DRM protected files on any random computer or portable media player. And the music from iTunes store is usually either in MP4 or AAC format. This means all of the songs and videos you download from the iTunes store will only work on your iPod. If you want them on another MP3 player or Sony PSP, you cannot do it unless you transfer the files to MP3 format.</p><p>As we known, Apple only allowed for new sales of iTunes Plus content without providing a cost-reduced upgrade path. That said, downloading upgraded DRM-free, 256K songs cost 30&cent; each, about one-third the 99&cent; price of a track purchased a la carte.</p><p>Although most people are not particularly happy about having to pay another 30&cent; each for songs they already &ldquo;owned&rdquo; is there any other resolution? Yes, you get the right place! Today I would like to introduce one more easier and faster method to put iTunes music to mp3 player.</p>
