I mean, I am just editing for school projects, no money to be made on this things, not going to show them on any reel. Is there anyway to get around using iTunes music in Final Cut Pro? Or are there other services where I can buy music that doesn't have DRM licensing on it? HELP!

Amazon music is all drm free.

As is Magnatune.

I thought all iTunes music for the last 2 or so years has been DRM free.

Yeah, I'm just still not sure all of it is. I still have a couple of albums that have never been upgraded.

All of the free tracks they give out every Tuesday are protected.

What people do with music in iTunes still containing DRM is they set up a playlist and burn a CD. That removes the DRM. You can then import the music FCP or whatever in the usual manner.

Yeah most people give you DRM free now, I guess the only thing new I have heard of is ScatterTunes their music is like 320 kbps if you are looking for higher quaility

you should try updating your old music i guess
