Does anyone know whether its possible to import your purchased tracks from itunes into music maker? I have tried and on first look, its impossible, but I wonder if there is a way of doing it and what do you have to do or use to make that happen?
Anyone with any ideas or help, I would be most grateful.
Thanks
All iTunes tracks are DRM protected so that they cannot be opened in any software except iTunes. So no, you cannot import them to MM, sorry.
There are apps which claim to be able to remove those DRM (Digital Rights Management) restrictions but you do need to be aware that to run them, and so remove those restrictions, is to risk a charge of an infringement of copyright.

Ok I get that to a point, but its music i have purchased. Seems not quite right that I don't actually own my own property to do what I want with..... Oh well :(
@David-Pook You can thank the backwards thinking music industry which doesn't allow this. You only buy the right to listen to the songs.
Of course, the musicians don't see money, only the streaming services and label bosses.
In my opinion it shouldn't be a problem to use songs for private remixes.
I really like some forward thinking bands that release stems of their music for remixers. For them it's a additional revenue stream and remixers get the best quality. It's a win-win for both sides.
