It says the file is DRM protected and therefore some analysis may not work. Is there a fix for this?</p></div>haven.hartley98tag:help.beatunes.com,2009-07-24:Comment/476808572019-10-01T19:49:14Z2019-10-01T19:49:14ZBPM not analyzing/DRM protected files<div><p>Hey,</p>
<p>if "use online resources" was not on, you could try again with that option on—perhaps the value can be looked up.</p>
<p>But if not, there is little you can do. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_rights_management">DRM</a> basically means that whoever sold you that file didn't want tools like beaTunes to be able to analyze it. It is basically crippled.</p>
