Until a decade ago I was one of those blind Apple users that was using iTunes as the only way to organize my music.
Now I’ve liberated my collection using navidrome and/or direct syncing the whole library via syncthing.
Today I noticed that I have about 20 m4p files that can’t be played with anything. Seems like one day I was drunk and I purchased an album on iTunes, so I guess it’s DRM.
There’s a way to convert those files to something with more freedom?
I don’t have iTunes but in some box in my garage I have a 15 years old iMac with some ancient os version that can’t be updated because Apple’s marketing team said I should buy a newer one

I believe that VLC should be able to convert this for you. If not then maybe try Audiocity.
VLC Player Audiocity
VLC shows the right length, but then plays 3 seconds of garbage audio and stops
It might just be easier to find a copy on the high seas than dealing with the DRM.
Looks like, I tried three m4p converters online and they all failed
Maybe it’s just going to be faster to search those 20 songs on soulseek
some obscure true crime series are only on itunes so not always possible
