I have a lot of iTunes songs from the 2005-2010 era that are all drm’d and can’t be played with anything but my iTunes logged into my account I purchased them with.

It’s 2023, I hate iTunes, but I can’t play half of my library. Does anyone have any idea what I can do? There are paid tools that claim to be able to do it but I’m not convinced…

    Honestly, you’re probably better off just re-downloading everything at this point. iTunes sound quality is not great by modern standards, and if your files are old enough to be DRM protected, then the quality is even worse. Anything you can get on iTunes is almost certainly going to be available on Soulseek, likely at a higher bitrate, and with no DRM to boot.

        It wouldn’t hurt, but I’m not aware of ISPs ever going after people for using Soulseek. If you’re sharing a lot of files publicly it may be an issue, but it’s not like a torrent swarm where someone can see all the connected peers and report them.
