How to Transfer iTunes M4P Files to Google Play

Can we directly transfer iTunes music M4P to Google Play? It depends.

A long time ago, all iTunes purchased music (in M4P format) are DRM protected by Apple's Fairplay DRM protection. But with the release of iTunes Match, Apple finally decided to discard the DRM protection on iTunes music in 2009.

However, does this mean that all M4P files are DRM-free now? NO!

If you have many iTunes music purchased before 2009, they are all DRM-restricted M4P format.

If you have subscribed to Apple Music, you will find that they are all DRM-protected M4P format, too.

You cannot directly upload these files to Google Play. You need to convert these M4P iTunes songs or Apple Music to most commonly used audio format like MP3, M4A, etc. and then upload them to Google Play.

TuneFab Apple Music Converter is able to convert MP4 to MP3 quickly. This software is especially to convert Apple Music or iTunes songs in M4P format to MP3 and remove DRM from them.
