More about Apple Music & M4P & DRM: What You Need to Know

M4P is a file extension for a protected audio file encoded with advanced audio codec (AAC). It stands for MPEG 4 Protected audio and could be widely seen in an iTunes and Apple Music purchased song which uses "Fairplay" DRM (also known as digital rights management). When compared with MP3, M4P is always smaller in file size but better in audio quality.

Because of DRM, M4P files on iTunes and Apple Music service can only be opened with iTunes app and the computer which is authorized with iTunes or Apple account. Generally, an iTunes account can be authorized on up to five computers only in order to play the M4P songs normally.

Apple Music, as one of the largest music-streaming services in the world, has more than 56 million subscribers so far. Combined with three major parts, including Music, Beats 1 Radio, and Connect, Apple Music brings users a vast library of music, provides music recommendations based on users' own taste, and allows artists and fans to communicate easily. It comes with a 3-month free trial and subscriptions start at $9.99 per month or $14.99 for family plan. However, due to DRM, subscribers don't own the Apple Music streams at all. Once cancel the subscription, users will lose access to the music files previously downloaded.
