    As the title says, can iTunes purchased music be converted to work on the Playbook Music Player?

    I'm not sure but if the iTunes item is not protected, which I doubt, I don't see why not. If you can play the file on your BB phone then yes you can play it on your PlayBook.

    I was able to transfer over my entire music collection from iTunes using the Blackberry Desktop Software. This included several songs I had purchased via iTunes. Every song plays just fine on the PB. No converting necessary, just select the option to sync with your iTunes account from the Desktop software and it will open up iTunes and then you can select the songs/playlists/albums/artists you want to sync.

    As long as the songs that you purchased are DRM free you should not have any problems. I am not sure how you can tell exactly but the ones with DRM will only play on apple products.

    I'm not sure when the DRM was removed from iTunes, but my older iTunes songs won't transfer. Newer stuff (~2-3 years old) works fine.

    there is a program you can search for called drm-removal that will do just that for older itunes files. its $39 but works great if you have a large collection. otherwise the upgrade to itunes plus feature works fine for just a few files.
