I'm trying to upload my music I've purchased off of iTunes to Google Music (to stream it via other computers and phones).



I have a few hundred songs that won't upload due to DRM.  First question, is it legal to remove the DRM?  And second question, is there a fairly quick and easy way to do it...barring its not illegal.




Google shows a method to burn to CDs, but it seems like that might take the better part of forever.  All the freeware I saw looked a few years old and may not even work.




Thoughts? Suggestions?




(To stay COC compliant....should this be illegal lets not discuss how to do it)

Sadly, I think this is the case. Doesn't mean it doesn't happen ("Watch me rip this tag off my mattress!"). Hope you get a good answer.

Instead of burning to an actual disk, burn an image then rip from that.

How would I do that?

You should be able to convert the *.aam to *.mp3 through iTunes and upload that.

The fastest and easiest legal way is to upgrade everything with iTunes Plus.  Downside, it isnt free - 30 cents a song IIRC.  You do get the better bitrate in the process, though.

You know, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink!

Do a Google search under "stripping drm off of itunes".

That sucks that they charge you to strip it from songs you purchased before they did away with it.
