iTunes Digital Rights Management

The digital-media business has gotten a lot more complicated in the last decade. When file-sharing networks opened a gaping hole in the entertainment industry's ability to control the distribution of its content, a war broke out between copyright holders and consumers. The current manifestation of that war is DRM and DRM hacking. Fair Play was only one example of DRM.

Advantages Supports all Apple series, it is the only software that

can support all media devices of Apple. Apple store, how much it gives you one cannot

refuses its charm.  Rich settings, compared with Microsoft’s Zune

software, this advantage of iTunes is better, iTunes almost can set all parameters of

music, like Bit rate, beat and so on.  Playlists, your music can be classified in different

music styles like jazz, pop and rock or users can even create their own playlists

You can download CD’s into your iTunes library

Disadvantages Interface, the interface of iTunes as compared to Zune is

boring. If u delete a song carelessly which you had purchased you

have to purchase it again to add it to your playlist. You can only sync your library to one IPod. It has to be powered by a computer, unlike Format

restrictions, iTunes still can not overcome the shortcoming of format restrictions the format on Apple store is little like mp3 or mp4. 

Authorization, you get authorization per year only.  Boring e CD’s

Conclusion

iTunes 11 is a worthwhile update for the new uncluttered layout, better integration between your library and the iTunes Store, and a MiniPlayer with just the right amount of controls to access your library without opening the main interface.

In the end, if you’re already an iTunes user or an apple device owner, you should download this update even with the minor drawbacks. It’s easier to use and the new interface makes sense, but don’t expect a turbo boost on a program that does as much as iTunes does.

Thank You !!
