How to clean personal data from music files purchased from Amazon or iTunes Store

Thanks to Apple's efforts, many of my friends began to buy music in the Russian iTunes Store and this can not but please. Some, who have become attached to the Amazon ecosystem, buy music there. After you buy music, it becomes yours and, as it seems to us, you can do anything with it. According to the logic of CD-ROMs — I listened, gave it to someone or gave it to listen. And so on to all friends. Apparently Apple and others do not think so, since with each uploaded (and purchased of course) file, your personal data is attributed to it. These data are called COMM and UFID by Apple, Amazon — PRIV and COMM.

This means that as soon as you decide to share your file somewhere, the fact that it is yours can greatly harm in the future with its uncontrolled distribution. Therefore, it is better to cut such data out of harm's way.

The free desiccate program, which works only under Windows, will help us in this. The program is able to clear this data simultaneously from many files. There are examples of cleaning more than 2000 files at the same time.

Why do you need this? You're not a pirate! It's very simple: your files can start traveling on a local network, a computer can steal and distribute your data, your children may not know what they are doing, and you yourself may not always understand to whom and what you are giving. So clean the files you bought. They are yours, remember?
