Is DRM applied to iTunes Match too now? That's unfortunate.
- ComputerGuru 5y agoI just checked - not so far as I can see.
- kall 5y agoNo. Just drag a matched track out of the music app or import it in various iOS apps, it's a DRM free AAC file.
- ratww 5y agoOh wow… If it is, I will probably rethink my subscription. I have uploaded a lot of music I bought in other services or ripped legally from CDs I physically own, adding DRM to things I own feels immoral to me. Wish there were more alternative mobile OSs and platforms. Apple is getting on my nerves too much lately.
- jghn 5y agoLikewise. IIRC Apple Music is a lot more (3x?) expensive than iTunes Match so not sure if the price increase would be worth it to me. But my thinking it wouldn't track my library was what made Apple Music a nonstarter for me.
- OldHand2018 5y agoiTunes Match is a subscription service, right? Buying individual tracks or entire albums from the iTunes Store gets you DRM-free music files. No?
- LeoPanthera 5y agoYes to both.
- LeoPanthera 5y agolol no, the other way around. Music you upload remains DRM-free.
