2. How to Play DRM-ed iTunes/Audible Audiobooks on Apple Watch

Copying a downloaded audiobook to a music folder in iTunes — to make it easier to control and play on an Apple Watch — might be a bit more difficult if the audiobook has digital rights management (DRM) encryption on the file, which might limit or prevent it from being copied to another device. Here we are talking about those audiobooks purchased from iTunes or Audible.com.
