4:21 AM - How to Remove DRM Protection from Music or Movies that you Purchase in iTunes

If you have any of Apple products, then you must know that one tool is essential, which is iTunes, all of our music and videos are purchased in iTunes, it provides all we need for entertainment, but there is one pity - we can't play iTunes stuff with other devices like Zune, PSP, Creative Zen, Sony Walkman, Cell Phone, Blackberry, HTC, Gphone, etc, because of the Apple DRM protection.

Then what is DRM protection? DRM (Digital Rights Management) is a term used to describe procedures which are taken to prevent unauthorized use of the media in question. So, for example, if you have music with DRM purchased from the iTunes store, you will not be able to play them on any media player, other than Apple's. You will also not be able to convert these files to the MP3 format because Apple, under DRM, doesn't give you the rights to do so. But that's not what we want, what we want is we can play those songs and videos with whatever devices we want to. So how do we remove DRM protections from iTunes files legally? Basically, there are two ways.

The first one, we can remove protect with some software, for example, drm removal, of course, there are a bunch of removals out there, you just need to chose one. Basically, DRM removal can help you remove DRM protection from movies and songs bought from iTunes, Microsoft Media Center, Napster, Pandora, Spiral Frog and other DRM protected media center legally, you just need to install this software, then it can help you do what you want, there are free ones and paid one, but the paid ones may be worthy to trust, meaning it has a better quality.



The second method is burn whatever you want on a CD/DVD. Here are the steps, Insert a blank CD/DVD in the drive and open iTunes on your computer. Select the File->New Playlist option. The next step is to select all the files that you want to remove DRM from and drag them to the playlist that you just created. Now that you have all the tracks you want on the CD/DVD media, right-click the playlist and select the option to "Burn playlist to Disc". iTunes will present you a dialogue box where you can select the kind of CD/DVD that you want to burn. Make sure you select the Audio CD option. Selecting the Edit->Preferences option and under the General tab, click on Import Settings. Select the MP3 Encoder from the drop down list and you're all set to import the track on the Audio CD that you just wrote as MP3 files. Remove the CD from the drive, and insert it back again. iTunes will prompt you to import the tracks from the CD to it's own database. Let it do so and at the end of the import process, you'll have new MP3 tracks void of any DRM.

You can see that the second method only can remove DRM protection of music from iTunes, which means if we want to remove drm from epub, it can't help us, but DRM removal that you can find in the internet is powerful enough to help you remove protection from anything you want.
