When I try to add music files to my slideshow, I now get error messages saying I cannot use the file because of DRM protection. I never had this problem before.
I may be wrong here, but I’m going to pipe in anyway. I rarely use audio tracks purchased from Apple Music – most of the music we use in our slideshows are from CD’s we purchase when in other countries, then when we get home I digitize them into the Music app, and never have trouble accessing or using them. In the old days when you purchased music from Apple everything was encoded (AAC if I remember correctly? Or was it DRM protected?) and you couldn’t do anything with those tracks – UNLESS – you FIRST burned them to a CD of your own, and THEN read them back into Apple’s Music app. Those tracks all cost $.99 from Apple. But then (I thought?) they raised the price to $1.29 per track and removed the DRM encoding, so you COULD use them outside of Apple’s app without having to re-digitize them. When I look at my list of music tracks when in FotoMagico, I can see all of them – BUT – those OLD tracks that I purchased years ago at $.99 will NOT play in FM, but newer tracks that I purchased at $1.29 will play in FM (I guess they removed the DRM protection).
Like I said, I may be wrong here – but that seems to be the case for me. I don’t recall EVER being able to import DRM encoded music into FM if they were in the “old” format. Maybe I’m just blowin’ smoke???
