:tongue:Apple on Tuesday followed through on its promise to remove all
digital rights management (DRM) from music sold on the iTunes Store.
All songs on the iTunes Store are now available at 256kbps AAC
encoding, which Apple says is virtually indistinguishable from the
original recordings.
*Why we need to* convert 'AAC to MP3?'

First, can we now just move the song purchased from iTunes to another
player ?
Yes, but only if that player supports AAC. Obviously, iPods do, and
some other players do as well, like the Sony Walkman NWZ-S738F, the
Archos 5, and, yes, even the Microsoft Zune. But, if you want to play
the music on other players that not support AAC, you need to find a 'AAC
to MP3 converter'
(
http://www.aimersoft.com/aac-to-mp3-converter.html#169) to *convert
AAC to MP3* which can be accepted by almost all music players.
Second, what about the previously purchased iTunes tracks, does them
still have DRM? If so, can I upgrade them?
Of course, and Apple is offering users a way to upgrade all of their
existing music to DRM-free songs. Upgrading costs 30 cents per song. If
you upgrade an entire album, it will cost 30 percent of the original
album price and music videos can be upgraded for 60 cents. You can get
to this upgrade link on the iTunes Store by clicking on "Upgrade to
iTunes Plus."
But, if you purchased a lot of 99-cent tracks on iTunes over the years
and want to find an more efficient way to remove the DRM, you can also
try an AAC to MP3 converter, of cause it should be an DRM remover too.
