DRM stands for Digital Rights Management, meaning that protection is put onto songs so that they can't be easily copied electronically. So when you purchase the song, you get one copy of the song, but you can't go and let a friend copy that song from your mp3 player. iTunes has this built into all its downloadable material.

How do you put bear share videos on your ipod?

Bearshare music has the DRM protection which avoid customer play or convert the downloaded music with other incompatible devices and if you don't keep paying you can't keep the music when the subscription expired . So if you want to play the protected music with other incompatible players (like iPod and Zune) and keep the music forever, you should remove the DRM with a specialized converter. And here I found a good program to help me remove DRM and convert the DRM music. You can free download it to have a try. http://www.wmatomp3-converter.com/digital-music-converter.html It can remove the DRM from protected music (mp3, wma,m4p, wav, etc) and extract audios from DRM video (wmv, m4v, asf, etc).


ITunes says files have drm what's that and what does it do?

DRM (Digital Rights Management) is a generic term for technology that prevents you from playing music files on unauthorized players or giving them away to others. Such files are tied to your iPod and iTunes and cannot be easily transferred elsewhere. If you want to be able to use the music on a portable media player other than an iPod, or if you want to burn the files to a CD, it is recommended that you do not purchase copies with DRM technology.


Can iPods work with rhapsody?

No, Ipods are not compatible with the Rhapsody service, unless you download a DRM free MP3 track from Rhapsody and then convert it to the Ipod format using the Itunes software.Another method is to remove DRM protection from Rhapsody player downloads and convert Rhapsody to plain MP3 or M4A that supported by iPod. I use Daniusoft Music converter.


Can you download Itunes to the Xbox 360?

No and yes you can download something that lets you use the cable that plugs from ipod into p.c. but place the usb end of cable into xbox and you can then play all of the songs that are on your ipod through your xbox. But, you can not play itunes purchased movies and TV-shows through Xbox 360 because they are protecte by Apple's FairPlay DRM. To solve this problem, in Related Links below there is a solution to this. GL.To watch the iTunes movies/TV shows on Xbox, then you have to strip the iTunes DRM from itunes movies at first. As far as I know, TunesKit DRM Media Converter is a strongly recommended application to accomplish this.


If you plug your ipod into another computer will it download to another itunes?

Generally speaking no. In fact, iTunes on the other computer will probably ask if you want to fill the ipod from that computer, erasing the songs on your ipod in the process. Be careful about what buttons you click if you don't want that to happen. That said, there may be third party applications that do what you want, but the songs still will not play on the other Mac unless they are MP3s you ripped from CDs yourself, or songs downloaded from ITunes after they started offering DRM free downloads. Be aware that just because they work, if they do, doesn't mean it's legal. You could try searching for "ipod transfer" on versiontracker.com, but I cannot vouch for the safety, legality, or function of anything that comes up.

How do you download a DRM free MP3 track from Rhapsody and then convert it to the Ipod format using the Itunes software?

Rhapsody is a music streaming service that lets you listen to music while you subscribe to their service. You can download and listen to music on certain MP3 players but the music is protected so you will not be able to listen to it once you stop subscribing.
