TunesKit Audio Converter basically re-encodes these audio files into a freely transferable and playable format like MP3, M4A, AAC, FLAC, WAV etc. Even though one can transfer these files to another computer, they won't play unless a purchase or rental licence is found on that computer or mobile device.

How does it work?DRM protected audio is essentially a file encoded in a different format that checks the purchased licence on that device before it starts playing. In order to do that, I needed a powerful software on my Mac, that would easily let me convert these DRM-protected and locked files to freely playable MP3 format so that it can be transferred and played on any other device. I needed to transfer some of my favourite music files, in addition to a few podcasts to an Android device for someone. This is because these music and audio files are protected under the 'Fair Play DRM Protection' and usually come locked for the intended account/devices only. However, I cannot play these music files on any of the other devices (Apple, Android or Windows), nor can I export them out of my iOS device. I normally also download and keep my favourite audiobooks and podcasts and listen to them whenever I get free time. Using iTunes, I can easily download music onto my iPhone or MacBook and listen to it later. I make use of iTunes for streaming music, audiobooks, and listening to various podcasts on all my devices.

IntroductionI have an Apple eco-system at home and do all of my work on various Apple devices.
