iPod Protected ACC audio file to Purchased AAC Audio File

[Greg27]

I am trying to put some songs i purchased off Itunes onto my new phone, unfortunately not the iphone. However a few of them have changed from being protected to being not. Then some havn't. Does anyone know what this is about.

If it says it is a purchased track that means t was bought from the iTunes store, but isn't DRM protected (itunes plus). Protected track means a normal iTunes track. iTunes plus songs can be used on devices other than apple ones (Zunes, Zens, Phones etc)

Thanks but how does a track become an itunes + track.

When uploaded to the iTunes Store, it is either uploaded as DRM protect or not DRM protected (iTunes Plus). Only a select amount of songs are iTunes Plus.

You cannot change a song from Protected DRM to iTunes Plus, but there is a simple solution to remove the DRM. Just burn Protected iTunes songs to a CD and re-import into iTunes.
