How to put iTunes music on Zune 4GB?
It is frequently asked that: Is the Zune 4GB compatible with Apple's iTunes music store? or Can I put the iTunes library music on my Zune 4GB? Well, If you want to get the right answer, basically you need to make some research work to make it clear what kind music iTunes offers and what stuff Zune 4GB can play.
iTunes Store offers two types of songs at present time: Songs DRM-free from iTunes Plus; Songs and videos still copy-protected with digital rights management (DRM). All the iTunes music is encoded in AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) with file extension of .m4a(non-DRM 128Kbps) .m4b(DRM-protected audio book & podcast files) and .m4p(DRM-protected 256Kbps); and video encoded with MPEG4 in formats of DRM-protected .m4v.
Zune 4GB supports audio file in formats of .wma and mp3 upto 320Kbps 48KHz, and AAC 320Kbps 48KHz(.m4a & .m4b without DRM preotection); and video files in formats of .wmv .mp4 .m4v(non-DRM) and h.264/MPEG4.
Conclusion: Then we can see that iTunes non-DRM music in .m4a from iTunes Plus can play on Zune 4GB without any problem, but the DRM-protected .m4p songs can't play on Zune 4GB. And thus another question comes, for people who has previously bought iTunes DRM-protected music --- What if I'd like to play the DRM-protected iTunes music to Zune 4GB too?
