If there are other choices, most people won't choose iTunes as their primary music management program or music player. However, sometimes, it seems that there is no other choice when you want to play iTunes songs or Apple Music tracks in M4P format, because all M4P files are protected by DRM (Data Rights Management). The DRM protection prevents you from listening to these audio files on any portable devices that aren't linked to your iTunes or Apple Music account.
But, how can you do when you want to play M4P without iTunes?
Actually, we can play M4P without iTunes if we can remove the DRM protection on M4P files.
