iTunes DRM Purchase Before 2009. iTunes Match?
iTunes DRM Purchase Before 2009. iTunes Match? Posted on: 24.09.2012 by Rosita Jesch Hi All,I've got quite a bit of music I purchased before iTunes started DRM free stuff. If I join iTunes match will I be able to upload that music to my account and then download DRM free versions? Right now if I try to load this music into tracktor, I get the blinking red bar at the bottom. Do I actually have to "upload" this music to iTunes or do they know it's in my account as a purchase? Do I have to upload *ALL* of the music to iTunes Match or can I just upload the stuff I want? I have a lot of random files of tracks I've produced - so no need to send those online to get analyzed - iTunes won't recognize my unreleased demos! All of my music was purchased legally! Fores | |

| Stanley Topoleski 26.09.2012 | audacity the power of opensource... i am not too familiar with match, but you can edit meta data among other things with audacity... remember not to export and re-render over and over again as it will affect audio quality... a 320mp3 converted to wav will not sound any better |
| Rosita Jesch 26.09.2012 | Wow - I'm not familiar with audacity batch processing - so you can set 8000 files up for it to check out, and export a .mp3 of an itunes song that has DRM on it??? I believe I might go with match because it should fill in all the meta data and clean things up with album artwork and whatnot also - am I correct? Thanks! Fores |

| Stanley Topoleski 24.09.2012 | they add little bits of data to you files, just like traktor and many other programs... best bet is to open the track in audacity (free) and render out an mp3 |
