Shorter version:


I want to know if there is a way to tell which song in my itunes library have DRM applied to them? Basically, I will (begrudgingly) pay up to unlock the library songs via Apple's new option that have DRM.. but I want to know if there is a way to tell which songs in my library still have DRM on them.

Extra info:

A while ago, I ripped about 100 CDs to FLAC. I then converted to Apple Lossless so they would play nice with Itunes (I consider my FLAC library to be my "Master" library). Since then, over time, I have purchased a bunch of itunes songs. I want to reach the goal of ensuring my entire library is DRM free. So once I pay up to Apple to unlock the DRM on available purchases, I want to be able to tell which songs are left in my library that still have DRM, so that I can use the various workarounds to unlock them.



Thanks in advance.

If you're using iTunes, then it ought to have created a list of all of your iTunes store purchases. If you don't have the list, there is another way to do this.


Assuming you want a list of all DRM-containing tracks purchased from the iTunes store, you can create a smartlist (one of the best features of iTunes). When you create the conditions for the smartlist, limit its "type" to "Protected ACC audio file," and it will automatically build a smartlist of all DRM-containing iTunes store purchases.

Thanks for the tip Milaz.


Creating a smartlist using Kind = protected did the trick

In fact, even better, from there I realized I could just have my entire library showing , right click on it, and export the songlist to text.


Then I opened that with Excel and was able to sort and filter to my hearts content.


Thanks again.

Sounds like you already got it resolved but you can search your computer for all *.mp4 files as well.

Glad it worked. Smartlists are very useful!
