Confused about itunes

Jynxed · 8th March 2011, 18:52

Ok I've done some searching and seem to get conflicting information about itunes music.

Either way I just started using winamp on my pc and it plays the majority of my music that I've purchased via itunes but there are some random songs that when I try to play them it just stops and goes to the next song. Also these same songs play fine on my android phone with winamp.

Is this some DRM issue that is only present with certain music or is there something else going on?

It could be that those tracks are encoded using Apple Lossless fprmat. If so then the Winamp Essentials pack should solve the problem.

Otherwise it's an Apple DRM issue and there's no way around that I'm afraid.

Yeah I downloaded that pack after my first searching, I guess it's a wacky drm thing then. Only reason it confuses me is that it works on my Android phone using winamp.

Thanks for the help!

What is the file extension on those files?

I know that *.m4p can be a problem as they are the DRM'd versions of *.m4a files.
