Hi, I bought new Garmin watch and installed Garmin express app. The app looks pretty good however half of my songs is not visible from garmin app saying some songs are protected. I am wondering is there a way to get my music to Garmin watch or somehow converting them to mp3. Its funny how apple will let you use songs on Apple watch but not on different watch. Thank you for any advise

If you have 128K DRM protected iTunes purchases from 2009 or earlier these can be burnt to CD and ripped back for a small loss of quality, or you can get matched 256K AAC versions if you subscribe to iTunes Match. If this is Apple Music content then you can only use this while your subscription remains active and with Apple hardware or software. You cannot remove the DRM to use the tracks with third party hardware.

Yeah I have some content that can be used but after that I just started using apple music. That being said I understand from Apple standpoint (money) they want to force customers to buy they hardware etc. But I already have apple watch and other hardware and it just seem stupid (for users) that they just block the competition no matter what. Its not like you can not get around it buying 3rdparty convertor programs (which is stupid because I already pay for the service and now I just need to pay again to use it elsewhere). I mean nothing I can do about in - unless switching to spotify 😭
