The iTunes Store is a software-based online digital media store operated by Apple Inc. Opening as the iTunes Music Store on April 28, 2003, it proved the viability of online music sales and is now the number-one music vendor in the United States.

Some downloaded files come with restrictions on their use, enforced by FairPlay, Apple's version of digital rights management.

What experts say:
"If you are like most music lovers, you probably have a number of devices that you typically use to play your music. It would be safe to assume then that your music would probably exist in a number of different formats, such as audio cds or mp3s on your computer hard drive or portable digital music player.
What if you then wanted to transfer some of the music files on your computer into a portable digital music player? Or if you wanted to "rip" the music from your audio cd collection into your computer hard drive for archiving, backup or eventual transfer to your portable digital music player? SoundTaxi Professional handles all of these tasks and more, and remove drm with perfect ease and efficiency."
