Ubuntu

MP3 files are locked

Asked by charlesrcole

I have music stored on Itunes, and when I move it over to Ubuntu I am getting a message saying the files are locked. I no longer have the Ipod I was using with Itunes. How do I access this music?

FairPlay is a digital rights management (DRM) technology created by Apple Inc., based on technology created by the company Veridisc. FairPlay is built into the QuickTime multimedia software and used by the iPhone, iPod, Apple TV, iTunes, and iTunes Store and the App Store. Any protected song or other form of media purchased from the iTunes Store with iTunes is encoded with FairPlay. FairPlay digitally encrypts AAC audio files and prevents users from playing these files on unauthorized computers.

Install iFuse and then you can access and copy music from the Rythm box
