That being said when you're working with transferring files from a PC or MAC, if you have DRM-protected music, in almost all cases you'll have to remove the DRM before you can edit or convert the music file to another format. Essentially you cannot use a proprietary iTunes file format and have a non-Apple product read the file - like an Astell&Kern DAP music player. So anything you have purchased on iTunes has DRM included that will prevent the file from being modified - protecting informatioin such as the metadata and other file attributes. DRM technologies govern the use, modification, and distribution of copyrighted works, as well as systems that enforce these policies within devices (from Wikipedia).

Any music purchased from iTunes is going to be protected by digital rights management, or DRM. The great thing about iTunes now is that they offer high-resolution files and version to everything that you purchase on the platform. It's important to note that if you use iTunes as your primary music library, you'll likely have two different types of audio files on there: those that are purchased from iTunes and those that are not. Keep in mind however that you will need to make sure the file format is compatible with your music player or they will simply take up storage without being able to be played. With iTunes, you can simple drag-and-drop the files from your iTunes library to your DAP network folder via AK File Drop. Don't worry, we'll walk you through the process step-by-step.

Here, you can read about how to use and setup AK File Drop. Essentially you are setting up your DAP as a network drive, which allows you to view and modify file contents remotely. This is a big difference, and also a lot easier to get music to your DAP without having to find a cable, connect it, and drop and drag files, waiting for them to copy, and then safely disconnect from your computer.

It allows you to wirelessly drop music files from your PC to your AK player so that they can be accessed locally on your DAP, rather than streaming them like you would using BT Sink. AK File Drop or File Transfer is a newer feature for some of the latest AK players on the market, specifically the SE180, the SR25 MKII and the SP2000T.
