Apple on Tuesday followed through on its promise to remove all digital rights management (DRM) from music sold on the iTunes Store.
All songs on the iTunes Store are now available at 256kbps AAC encoding, which Apple says is virtually indistinguishable from the original recordings.
Why we need to convert AAC to MP3?
First, can we now just move the song purchased from iTunes to another player ?
Yes, but only if that player supports AAC. Obviously, iPods do, and some other players do as well, like the Sony Walkman NWZ-S738F, the Archos 5, and, yes, even the Microsoft Zune. But, if you want to play the music on other players that not support AAC, you need to find a AAC to MP3 converter to convert AAC to MP3 which can be accepted by almost all music players.
Second, what about the previously purchased iTunes tracks, does them still have DRM? If so, can I upgrade them?
Of course, and Apple is offering users a way to upgrade all of their existing music to DRM-free songs. Upgrading costs 30 cents per song. If you upgrade an entire album, it will cost 30 percent of the original album price and music videos can be …
