DRM is a copy protection that stands for Digital Rights Management and is found on some audio CD&#8217;s but the majority of discs are unprotected.  When music is ripped by one of these applications you can usually choose which format to rip to in the settings. Windows Media Player by default uses the WMA format while iTunes uses the AAC format. However you can choose to tip wo MP3 or WAV file also.  No matter what format you choose both music managers will connect to the online central database that stores all music information such as Artist, Songs Titles, Album Art, Composer, etc&#8230;, and try to fill in all the necessary data about your album.<\/p>\n<h3><b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.windowstalk.org\/2011\/08\/what-everybody-ought-to-know-about-digital-audio-formats\/\" target=\"_blank\">Article Continued Here<\/a><\/b><\/h3>\n<p>This excerpt is shared with permission from Windows Talk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/techtalk.pcpitstop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20110622windowstalk.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"windowstalk.org\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-18914\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Many of you have been asking if there are better format to use and if certain audio file types are recommended over others for specific audio players.
