There are numerous audio converters for iTunes available in the market. Here we are reviewing the TunesKit DRM Audio Converter. In a brief, it is a compact and comprehensive iTunes DRM Audio Converter which can efficiently remove DRM Encryption from iTunes’ DRM protected audio files. The audio files cover a wide range of resources like Apple Music tracks, iTunes M4P songs, M4A, M4B audio books, Audible AAX and AA audio books. With this software, you can flawlessly convert the protected files to compatible formats.
Now let’s have a look at the software, the installing and use.
What is DRM? Digital Rights Management or DRM is a set of access controls that restricts the use of proprietary hardware and copyrighted software and media files. iTunes has a tightly knitted security which refrains you from transferring purchased media from iTunes to any other platform. DRM protects these purchased media files. But DRM is not universally accepted across the world. Hence, DRM removal software is legal and can be used without any hassle. From a security perspective, DRM is a great savior for your purchased files, but if you want to transfer them to a different platform, then DRM stands as a barrier.

Pros
- First, I will talk about the user interface. It is user friendly and there is not much fuss to make. So, users won’t get confused. The options are self-explanatory and users can understand without any help.
- It is a one stop DRM removal software. This means all types of audio conversions, like conversions of DRM protected contents of Apple Music tracks, iTunes M4P songs, M4A, M4B audiobooks, as well as Audible AAX, AA audiobooks can be done from the same app only.
- Conversion is very fast and accomplishes conversion at 30x speed. Conversions of audio contents from iTunes, and M4A, M4B, AA, AAX audiobooks to DRM-free MP3, AAC, WAV, M4A, FLAC, M4B and other common audio formats with CD quality can be done at 30x speed. Very few products support conversion at this speed.
- With TunesKit DRM Audio Converter, you can customize audio settings and split large audio into small segments by setting the output parameters for any audio. ID tags and chapter information are kept in output MP3, FLAC or M4A, etc.
- The output quality is lossless. It is the same as before the conversion.
Cons
There is no negative aspect that can be discussed. If one thing that I can mention here, is that for trial versions, only 1/3rd of the audio files can be converted. This is a limitation, and the company can change the policy.
