iPhone iPod Plus

Some time ago I was told that Apple had decided to everyone’s surprise release of the hated iTunes music DRM, but they plan to share these files in the P2P network that is not good idea.

A report published by CNet determined that personal information and email address of the holder of the iTunes account is hidden inside each and every one of the DRM-free files.

To verify that your files contain your personal information, just select any text editor such as notepad, and you give the Search (Ctrl + b Ctrl + f) and enter the email address of your iTunes account, you’ll find your file so DRM-free is not free to hold your personal information.

At this time we wonder about the legality of these moves from Apple, because for these data is in the files, the user should be informed to accept the license.

iTunes uses a format called AAC, which is a more modern alternative MP3 player, the file extension. “m4a”. Many players do not support this format, however, you can create MP3s from these files if you want.

Unlike the old iTunes downloads, new files are compatible with a “wide range” of devices. Those include support for AAC are the Creative Zen and Zen X-Fi, a number of Sony, the Archos 605 Wifi and Archos 5 (with optional plug-in), the Sony PSP and the PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii, the Sony Ericsson Walkman and mobile phones from Nokia XpressMusic.

90% of the iTunes music DRM-free already and will have twice the audio quality than previous ones, the most likely soon leave the old format is DRM.
