Nowadays, you can increasingly find that many music files could not be played freely on other different devices or media players you want. This phenomenon mainly results from DRM (Digital Rights Management) technology. With DRM encryption, the protected music cannot be replicated or reused, which highly protects the copyright of the songs. However, it also causes great inconvenience to users. Some people are irritated.
