iTunes Protected Files

[Holbytla]

So I downloaded a few jazz albums on itunes the other day and came upon something weird. A few of the tracks were "Protected". To fix this and get the proper unprotected files I had to delete them and download them again. Anyone else have this problem, whats up with Apple. Its 2020, there shouldn't be DRM on music you purchase.

Another reason to add to my list of why I hate Apple. I think I'll just continue to buy CDs and rip them in FLAC.

Well I came up with a solution, finally. Uncheck the "simultaneous downloads" box. So far its working... didn't encounter anymore "Protected" files.
