Oops - I really meant m4p, the Apple Music Store files. But from what
you say, it won't work. The page I mentioned on the Apple site discusses
the perfectly good reasons why a person might want to do this, and the
user has paid for their music, but Apple don't allow them proper access
to it. It's really very poor (as others have commented too).
