M4P is mainly used for Apple's audio that is encrypted with Apple's FairPlay DRM protection. All the songs bought from the iTunes store between 2003 and 2009 are in M4P format that is DRM protected. Since April 2009, Apple began to offer music in iTunes Plus which is encoded in DRM-free M4A format so that users can play them on players or devices that are M4A compatible. However, with the launch of Apple Music, the M4P format is used for Apple Music tracks again.
