How to Transfer iTunes Music & Video to Microsoft Surface

About Microsoft Surface

Microsoft Surface is a series of tablets designed and marketed by Microsoft. The Surface comes in two versions, one with Windows RT and another with Windows 8 Pro. The Windows RT model uses an ARM CPU, while the Windows 8 Pro model will use an Intel CPU. Both models are able to install new applications via the Windows Store, however only the Windows 8 Pro model allows the installation of traditional third-party desktop programs.

Music in iTunes Store is in the Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) format, which is the MPEG-4-specified successor to MP3. Songs with DRM are encoded at 128 kbit/s. At the January 2009 Macworld Expo, Apple announced that all iTunes music would be made available without DRM, and encoded at the higher-quality rate of 256 kbit/s. However, television episodes, many books, and films are still FairPlay-protected.

So if you want to play iTunes music and video on the Windows tablet, especially Surface with Windows RT, you will need to remove iTunes DRM first. Now let me show you how to remove DRM from iTunes music and video, convert iTunes music and video to plain MP3 and MP4 and transfer iTunes music to Microsoft Surface.

How to sync iTunes music to Samsung Galaxy S III

The Samsung Galaxy S III is a smartphone designed, developed, and marketed by Samsung Electronics. Like its predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy S II, the S III is a touchscreen-based, slate-format Android smartphone, with additional software features, expanded hardware, and a redesigned physique. It employs an intelligent personal assistant (S Voice), eye-tracking ability, increased storage, and a wireless charging option. Depending on country, the 4.8-inch (120 mm) smartphone comes with different processors and RAM capacity, and 4G LTE support. The S III was launched with Android version 4.0, “Ice Cream Sandwich”, and will be upgraded to version 4.1, “Jelly Bean”, in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Compatible media formats of Samsung Galaxy S III include:

Audio: MP3, AMR-NB/WB, AAC/AAC＋/eAAC＋, WMA, OGG Vorbis, FLAC, AC-3, apt-X
Video: MPEG-4, H.264, H.263, DivX, DivX3.11, VC-1, VP8, WMV7/8, Sorenson Spark
Ringtones & notifications: Vibration, MP3, and WAV

In case you want to play iTunes music (m4p, m4a, aac) on your new S3 phone or set an iTunes song as your S3 ringtone, you will find the iTunes music cannot be directly added to the phone. It is because the songs purchased from iTunes store have DRM on them. You will need to find a DRM removal tool to help you get the iTunes music DRM free and converted to plain MP3 files first.

In this blog, I have shared with you the way to remove DRM from iTunes music and convert iTunes music to mp3. Below are the links:

Get All Your iTunes Music Transferred to Non-Apple Devices with TuneClone

Years ago, one of my friends sent me an iPod Touch as a birthday present. From then on, I have been using this iTouch as a music player, appreciating its high quality of audio playback very much. Every month, I’d like to budget a few songs on iTunes Store. Till now there have been nearly 2000 songs downloaded to my iTunes music library.

Recently, I got a 16GB Sony Walkman MP3 and wanted to switch all the songs from my iPod Touch to this brand new device. The songs occupied too much capacity of the iPod Touch and there was little space left for installing iOS apps. So I decided to use the Walkman as my music player and use the iPod Touch for great and interesting apps from the App Store.

Here came my headache! Unlike other common MP3 files stored in my computer, the purchased iTunes songs could not be copied to my Walkman MP3 via USB cable. What should I do? Since I had paid nearly 2000*$0.99 for these songs, why couldn’t I use them on another device of mine? Did I have to purchase all of them once again? I wouldn’t do that!

I asked my friends for help. One of them suggested that I first burn the songs onto a CD disc in iTunes and then rip it back as MP3 files. Then I would be able to import the destination MP3 songs into my Walkman. I gave up this advice as there were about 2000 songs needed to be burnt. It would be a very lengthy process. Besides, I needed to purchase nearly 100 CD discs first, since each disc could hold about 20 songs (about 79 minutes) only. I wouldn’t do that either!

Another friend provided me with another way. That was, I could select all the songs in my iTunes library, right click and then click “Create MP3 Version” to convert all music to MP3. I did try this method, but it turned out that hundreds of songs were not converted. This really messed up my iTunes library. I had to check which songs were converted and which were not. Without any hesitation, I sorted the songs by Date and trashed all the newly generated MP3 files from the library.

What was reason why some songs could be converted while others not? After searching the Internet, I found that all the songs that could be converted were actually iTunes Plus music. The songs unable to be converted were protected by Apple DRM.

While most downloaded files initially included restrictions on their use, enforced by FairPlay, Apple’s implementation of digital rights management, iTunes later initiated a shift into selling DRM-free music in most countries, marketed as iTunes Plus. On January 6, 2009, Apple announced that DRM had been removed from 80% of the entire music catalog in the U.S. Full iTunes Plus availability was achieved on April 7, 2009 in the U.S., coinciding with the introduction of a three-tiered pricing model; however, television episodes, many books, and films are still FairPlay-protected.

That is to say, the Create MP3 Version method can only be used to convert iTunes Plus music. I still had to find a way to convert the songs with DRM. To my delight, the software TuneClone attracted my attention and helped me in the end. This $34.95 TuneClone Audio Converter was very clever in that it installed a virtual CD-ROM drive on my PC, letting me remove the DRM element without having to waste actual CD’s.

Transfer iTunes Music to Non-Apple Devices with TuneClone

Thanks to TuneClone, I was finally able to switch all the iTunes music from my iPod Touch to my Walkman. Apart from that, I would feel free to use my legally purchased songs without any restriction thence. And I’d like to say it is well worth the $34.95 if you have a large library of iTunes songs needed to be transferred.
