Ultimate Solution to Remove DRM from iTunes Movies, Audibooks, Music...

How would you describe Apple's ecosystem, especially the iTunes ecosystem? Doesn't it like that Apple has lured users into a trap using design or marketing, shut the door behind them and thrown away the key? Generally speaking, this kind of ecosystem lock-in essentially doesn't allow the customer to take the content and move to another platform. To be specifically, this can be achieved by limiting a device's file format compatibility, or by limiting the ways in which a device can be loaded with content.

Apple's Ecosystem Lock-in: iTunes Music, Video, and Books

Before January 6, 2009, audio files sold in iTunes Store were protected using Apple's own FairPlay DRM solution. As of today, all music sold in the iTunes Store after April 7, 2009, is DRM free while Apple put the DRM back to the songs in its newly released music streaming service, Apple Music. Currently, all video content, including movies, TV shows, and music videos sold through iTunes is DRM protected and can only be played on devices compatible with the FairPlay DRM. With iBooks, Apple offers both copy protected books as well as books without DRM on its iOS devices. In the case of audiobooks, they are generally offered in file formats, such as M4A or M4B, with embedded DRM protection.

Those facts portray a gloomy situation we have to face, that is, several types of content available for purchase in iTunes are subject to ecosystem lock-in, where we as users are prohibited from dealing with the purchased items in ways we like. That's not the end of the story, however. There are of course methods to strip DRM from iTunes media content, such as the ones introduced in the following article.

1. Free offline Apple Music or old iTunes M4P songs from DRM

If you are subscribing Apple Music streaming service or have a large collection of iTunes music files purchased before 2009, you may have the need to move away from Apple ecosystem by transferring those DRM-restricted songs to non-Apple platforms. In such a case, you are here to meet TunesKit DRM M4P Converter, a perfect DRM removal solution developed to completely remove DRM from offline Apple Music M4P songs, as well as the old iTunes music purchases protected by DRM. It's designed to free the M4P audio from DRM by converting the copy-protected songs to common MP3, AAC, M4A, FLAC, WAV, and M4B with original ID tags preserved. If you own any mac machine running OS X 10.8 or later, you should install the TunesKit M4P Converter for Mac.

2. Remove DRM from iTunes M4V movies, TV shows, music videos

As one of the largest online stores selling digital copies of movies and TV episodes worldwide, iTunes ecosystem, regardless of the DRM copy right, has made it convenient for customers to pick up any hot movie piece in minutes. In order to get the full control of the purchased or even rented movies from iTunes, you need to use a third-party iTunes DRM removal tool to decrypt the DRM. The magic M4V media converter we are talking about here is TunesKit DRM M4V Converter for Mac (Windows). It's an all-in-one DRM cracker that was designed to easily strip DRM protection from iTunes movies (rented and purchased), TV series, as well as music videos while converting the DRM-ed M4V videos to non-DRM MP4, M4V, MOV, AVI, MKV, MP3, AAC and other common media formats.

3. Break DRM lock from iBooks ePub files

Because of the DRM protection, the books sold from iBooks store, unlike the common ePub files, are only recognizable by Apple's devices. If you want to read the iBooks on other eBook readers, such as Amazon Kindle, or Nook, you'll have to firstly bypass the DRM protection from those ePub books with some useful iBooks DRM removal applications, such as TunesKit DRM iBook Copy for Mac, a powerful and smart DRM cracker for iBooks on Mac.

Here in this review, we'll discuss the key features of this Audible DRM cracker and the performance on how it works when removing DRM from Audible audiobooks in details.

Introducing TunesKit DRM Audible Converter for Mac & Windows

The limit of the trial version is that it only converts the first 1/3 content of each book. To unlock the app and convert the whole audiobook, users should pay $29.95 to get the full version.

How It Works to Convert Audible Audiobooks

Conversion Model

We call TunesKit Audible Converter innovative and special because it uses different conversion approach to strip off DRM from Audible audiobooks. Unlike the other DRM audiobook converters in the market, even including TunesKit's existing Audiobook Converter, this new Audible converter app no longer requires iTunes to download and authenticate the audiobooks. Instead, it works straight from the Audible files downloaded to your computer. That's to say, removing DRM from Audible will be as simple as dragging the downloaded audiobooks to the converter without needing to install extra software, such as iTunes.

Conversion Process

The conversion can't be simpler. To remove DRM from an Audible audiobook, it only needs three clicks: add the book, set output format, and convert. To make it more specifically, let's take TunesKit Audible Converter for Windows as an example to see how it performs in converting the DRM-ed Audile book to DRM-free formats.

Firstly, it provides two options to add the audiobooks either by clicking "Add Files" button or by dragging the books to the conversion window. And of course, it supports batch conversion so that we are allowed to add as many audiobooks as we want to convert once.

Then the imported audiobooks will be listed on the main interface of TunesKit Audible Converter, displaying book title, author, time length, etc. We can edit the book title by moving the cursor to it and clicking the "edit" icon. The other bigger "edit" icon next to the book info can be used to split the large audiobook file into different small segments by time or by chapters.

Now we move to the next step, that's to set the output format for the audiobook. Currently TunesKit Audible Converter supports almost all popular audio formats, including MP3, M4A, AAC, AC3, OGG, WAV, WMA, M4B, AIFF, APE, M4R, MKA, AU, etc. To choose the target format, simply click the Format field at the bottom left of the converter. You can also customize the parameters, like codec, audio channel, sample rate, bit rate, etc. of those formats according to your own needs. And if you want the audiobook after conversion keeps the same audio quality as the original book, you should select the output format as "lossless" and it will generate the DRM-free audiobook by retaining the same audio codec, bit rate, channel as the original one. By the way, it also works the fastest under "lossless" setting.

Once all output settings are adjusted properly, we can begin to convert the DRM Audible audiobooks. All we need to do is click the "Convert" button at the bottom right of TunesKit Audible Converter interface and the books would be converted one by one in a few minutes only.

Conversion Speed & Quality

As we mentioned before, since this smart Audible audiobook converter doesn't need to work together with iTunes or other apps, it will convert the hours-long DRM Audible audiobooks within a few seconds at up to 100X super faster speed. For example, a 7-hour long Audible AAX audiobook could be converted to DRM-free format in 5 seconds or so when the output format is set to be lossless. Moreover, the output quality will be as excellent as the original book. Take a look at the snapshots of the properties of original audiobook and converted one and you'll see there's no quality loss at all.

Conclusion

After a thorough testing of TunesKit DRM Audible Audiobook Converter, we can see the conversion is smoother and faster than any other common Audible converters. It removes DRM protection from Audible AA and AAX audiobooks with ease while producing lossless audio quality. If you are asking whether it's worthy to buy, the answer would definitely be positive. So what are you waiting for?

In this case, TunesKit DRM Apple Music Converter is launched to help Apple Music subscribers get away from DRM restriction by unlocking DRM protection from the offline M4P songs they download with Apple Music so that they can keep those audio tracks forever even if they unsubscribe Apple Music. Besides, this smart Apple Music DRM removal tool also works with the DRM-encrypted M4P songs downloaded from iTunes store a few years ago.

Thanks to the innovative DRM decryption core, TunesKit Apple Music Converter is able to convert the DRM-ed Apple Music files from M4P to DRM-free MP3, AAC, WAV, M4A, M4B and FLAC while preserving the original ID tags and metadata, including track number, title, artist, album, genre and duration, etc. By striping DRM from Apple Music songs with this powerful DRM cracker, Apple Music users can freely transfer the unprotected Apple Music songs, albums and playlists to any device to enjoy, including iPod, Samsung, LG, Motorola, Sony, Lenovo, Zune, and other MP3 players.

Like other DRM removal programs within TunesKit product line, TunesKit DRM Apple Music Converter is well-designed with a clean interface and neat buttons. Every one could handle the DRM removal process easily with a few clicks only. And unlike some traditional audio encoders, TunesKit Apple Music Converter doesn't need any extra hardware or virtual CD driver. "Due to the advanced encoding accelerator, TunesKit Apple Music Converter boasts a super fast conversion speed at 30X, much faster than any other similar Apple Music crackers in the market," said Andres, the marketing director of TunesKit.
