The DRM-protected M4P files could be the songs you purchased from iTunes Store before April 2009 or the songs you downloaded from Apple Music subscription. Apple Music has a music library of over 50 million songs. When you subscribe to the service, you can access the entire music world and download your favorite songs for offline listening. Due to Apple Music DRM protection, you can't burn any music to a CD or play Apple Music tracks on other audio players or other music streaming services like Spotify, Google Music, and more.

If you want to get Apple Music songs played on your Mac or other devices without DRM limitations, you can ask a professional software that can remove DRM from Apple Music and convert M4P songs to DRM-free audio format with the original quality reserved.

AIFF and Apple Music M4P

Audio Interchange File Format (AIFF) is an audio file format standard for storing sound data from personal computers and other electronic audio devices. It supports a variety of bit resolutions, sample rates, and channels of audio. This format was developed by Apple Inc. in 1988 based on Electronic Arts' Exchange File Format (IFF, widely used in the Amiga system) and is most commonly used in Apple Macintosh computer systems. Applications that can run AIFF files include iTunes, WMP, QuickTime, VLC, MacBook and other apps that support AIFF files.

M4P format stands for MPEG 4 protected audio, which is a file extension encoded with AAC. M4P files are protected by FairPlay DRM (Digital Rights Management), a technology developed by Apple Inc to protect digital content and ensure copyright protection. The songs you purchased from iTunes Store before April 2009 or the songs you downloaded from Apple Music subscription were in M4P format. You can only play these songs on your computer or device via iTunes. It means that the M4P audio files cannot be played and transferred to any other unauthorized computer or device, including MP3 player, PSP, PS4, iPod nano, iPod shuffle, Android tablet, etc. Thus, if you want to play M4P Apple Music freely, you must remove DRM from Apple Music and convert to AIFF lossless audio format.
