With Spotify and Apple Music dominating, why would anyone look for iTunes Plus AAC M4A sites in 2025?
Access via: Apple Music app (macOS/Windows) or iTunes (legacy)
While Apple doesn't call it "iTunes Plus" anymore, the backend is the same. When you purchase a song from the Apple Store (not streaming), you get a 256 kbps AAC M4A file, DRM-free.
Before we list sites, we must understand the product. In 2007, Steve Jobs released an open letter titled "Thoughts on Music," calling for the end of Digital Rights Management (DRM). By 2009, Apple launched iTunes Plus.
