Getting Itunes DRM music files to operate with RAZR?

Hey everybody, so...lots of verbiage..here we go....

I'm trying to import all my itunes songs on to the RAZR so I can use it in the various music players available. I have tried numerous things, but to no avail. Any assistance would be much, much appreciated. The list of things I have tried are as follows:

1. Verizon VCAST Media Manager - DRM in file error

2. Motocast - DRM in file error

3. Google Music - DRM in file error

4. Motorola Music - Cannot play this file

5. USB Drag and Drop - Pulled the music files out of Itunes into a personal folder, dragged onto RAZR...and...DRM in file

6. Windows Media Player - DRM in file

7. Songbird - DRM in file, however, I feel maybe I need someone with some expertise with this app to assist me. I plugged my RAZR in and at no point was I ever given an opportunity to sync anything. Thoughts?

Thanks everyone!
 
You can get low cost replacement mp3s for your music at www.mp3salu.ru. I had to do that for several of my older albums. Luckily, new music from iTunes does not have digital rights.

Or you can burn the protected files to CD and then copy them to your phone. Kinda sucks about 1/3 of my music is copy protected.

I'm in the same situation but I have probably 3000 songs with DRM. I only knew about the CD burn method but it's not practical for that much music. It would take a boat load of time and CDs for that.

Sign up for iTunes Match and get the high quality DRM free version. It costs $25 for the year but you get big quality versions of even things you ripped yourself.
Then just copy.

Huh? How? I get the cloud but my files are still protected?

Doesn't that only work on an Apple device? I don't know of any Android app that allows you to use the iTunes cloud. He'd have to buy an iPhone instead for that to work.

No, no, no.
You use iTunes Match on you Mac/PC.
Once the iTunes library is synced up. You remove/change the name of your local library and let it copy all your stuff from the cloud.
Everything copied back will be DRM free and higher quality unless you used lossless compression to begin with.

The just copy the files you want to your Android device.
Other than that the only way is to "burn a CD" then re-import.

Or re-rip with a Windows based ripping tool such as Exact Audio Copy (EAC).
