iTunes which is owned by Apple is one of the biggest media player, media library and online digital media store. CDs used to be the main way people listened to music in the past, but with the internet explosion, the world saw a spike in illegal music downloads. Apple curbed that dilemma when they introduced iTunes, which was and is still one of the legitimate ways to purchase digital music and other media. Apple eventually launched Apple Music, a music and video in 2015. To date, Apple has millions of music, music videos, movies, and TV shows in its iTunes Store and Apple Music service. If you subscribe or buy music and video files from those two Apple services, they may still protect the files with the DRM system. In some cases, this means you cannot watch or listen to that media on any device except the ones which the purchaser’s account is assigned to. M4V video files are also protected by the DRM system and are specifically designed for the Apple ecosystem. WMA or Windows Media Audio is an audio file extension that is used with Windows Media Player. What we want is for you to enjoy your media files anywhere and? on any device of your choice, and we will guide you on how to remove DRM from your M4V video files and convert them to WMA audio or any other file type of your choice to meet your needs.
