Stop using DRM'd tools.
Don't accept DRM'd data.
Stop allowing the botnet.

You are hurting yourself.

iTunes is DRM-free, but every file comes with metadata to enable stuff like cloud music.

Obviously if you go outside what you paid for, weird stuff will happen.


In this case, Match sees a song you already bought, so it just tells the phone to get it from the cloud when it needs it. But the phone can't because you didn't buy it.

Either auth your phone on your friend's account, or reencode/transtainer the files with his account details in the metadata.

Thanks so far.

Yeah, when i convert the files again, they work, but im afraid of the quality, cause aac is already a loosy format. I tried to use AtomicParsley to remove the itunes meta tags, worked for a while but doesn't work with the new tracks.

Any ways i can convert/reconvert them with my details, without any qulaity loss?

In addition:

iTunes searches for a song in the store and if matched (itunes use some fingerprint technic for the analysis of a song), it works. So my file works as a link to the store file.

Only if iTunes can't match a file, it will upload it, only theses files dont have any audio on the phone. Still looking for a way to remove the iTunes Metatags/Atoms or convert them without any quality loose.

Convert them to ALAC, or (gasp) pay for them.
