Transfer iTunes Music to iRiver MP3 Player

"I've downloaded a lot of music from iTunes Store and I wanted to transfer them to m iRiver MP3 player, but as I know, there are protections on the music and my MP3 player wouldn't be able to play them. What am I supposed to do?"

DRM is a set of access control technologies used to limit the use of copyrighted works. Media content with DRM protection can be protected from being used, modified and distributed easily.

Apple uses DRM to protect its media content including music, TV shows, movies and audiobooks, which makes it hard to play those media content with other players or on other devices. If you can't get the DRM removed from the music you download from iTunes, you wouldn't be able to play them on your iRiver player or any other digital audio players other than Apple's. So the problem at hand is how we can remove DRM from iTunes music to transfer to iRiver player for playback? The answer is quite easy: a DRM removal tool.
