An easy way to remove DRM from old iTunes songs and get your iTunes songs ready for use on any computer or mobile music devices.


Remove DRM from old iTunes songs on Windows


Why we need to convert old iTunes songs

Presently, all iTunes purchases are DRM-free and music purchases are provided in 256kbps AAC. However, if you had made any older purchases (2009 and previously), you’d still have files protected by FairPlay DRM. This DRM lets you play songs on iTunes-enabled devices like Windows PCs and Macs and Apple devices like iPhone, iPod and iPad. Also, one can burn the songs on up to 7 audio CDs. However, you will be locked out from moving it to non-Apple devices like Android phone or third-party players.

Is there a solution? Yes. In fact, there are two. One, you can pay an upgrade price to Apple to replace the DRM-protected version with the DRM-free one. But if you have a large collection, the price to pay is very steep (~99 cents/track). The other option is that you can purchase a DRM removal tool, like Easy DRM Converter for Windows, which lets you remove DRM from existing DRM-protected tracks and convert them to freely playable MP3, M4A or AAC audio files with up to 16X conversion speed and as well as CD quality. The choice is yours depending on what is most cost-effective to you.

Does the second option sound great to you? If yes, read on to know how it works.


Converting old iTunes DRM-protected songs to MP3

First of all, you will require a computer that running Windows 7/8/8.1/10 and the newest version of iTunes. You will also need to have some old DRM-protected tracks that were purchased in 2009 or before.

Launch iTunes and locate if your tracks are present in the Library or Albums section. In this example, I have an old purchase from 2009, namely ‘Cruel Intentions’ by ‘Simian Mobile Disco’. This music is not playable outside of iTunes.
