My iTun
es music isn’t playing
Apple’s iTunes is a music manager that helps you organize your collection, rip CDs,
and
create and manage playlists. It
also connects to the iTunes Store, where Apple offers music, videos and podcasts for purchase. Much of the music
purchased from the iTunes store before 2009 is protected by Apple’s DRM software.
Look for Apple’s DRM (Digital Rights Management)
If your iTunes music is not playing on your Squeezebox, it is probably protected by Apple’s proprietary Digital Rights
Manage
ment (DRM) software.
Other online music stores also apply DRM to downloaded tracks. If you’re not sure if your
music is protected by DRM, contact your online music store.
