Part 1:Why Can't We Play iTunes Music on Sony Smart TV

Let’s firstly learn about iTunes music to get the answer on why you can’t play iTunes music on Sony Smart TV and other non-Apple devices. As known to all, Sony Smart TV is able to play back music files in several different audio file formats including WAV, MP3, WMA and AAC. And if you are going to play music files on Smart TV via USB drive, you could only play back audio files in WAV, MP3 and WMA file formats. AAC files on USB drive couldn’t be played back on Sony Smart TV.

On the other hand, iTunes music files are saved in M4P file format. What’s more, Apple has applied a DRM protection system – FairPlay to protect iTunes music files from being unauthorized use. DRM, short for Digital Right Management, could prevent copyright protected works from being used by unauthorized people and organizations. iTunes music could only be played back by Apple devices including iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod), Apple TV, iTunes, etc.

Therefore, you couldn’t play back iTunes music on Sony Smart TV and other non-Apple devices unless you could remove the DRM protection upon iTunes music and convert iTunes DRM music to DRM-free audio files that are recognized by other devices. In the below content, we would like to show you how to convert iTunes DRM music to DRM-free MP3 files for Sony Smart TV.
