I've got DRM protected songs from other stores than iTunes. Will they still be matched with iTunes Match?

The title really asks the question. I've got DRM protected music, I purchased on a german music-store. Will iTunes still match them via iTunes Match with unprotected examples?

You have to be in a country, and have a billing address in that country, to download from its store. You can try requesting that the app be added to the Slovenia store, but unless the app's developer/rights-holder agrees to it then Apple won't be able to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

ITunes Matching songs from other stores

Is there a way to match songs that are only available on other stores i.e. iTunes US Store if they're not available on the Australian Store?

Although this question has been covered quite often:
In order to buy from a certain country's iTMS, you do need
either: a CC with a billing address in that country
or: an address in that country plus a prepaid card/gift voucher issued by iTMS in that country.
If you don't meet one of this conditions, there is no solution for you.
-sorry but the copyright holders wanted it that way.

There is no such thing as an "SG3" or "SG4". Did you possibly mean a 3GS and iPhone4?
It has always been very basic to ensure that a backup exists of your media and other important files. Computers fail, hard drives crashes... things happen. Do you not have a backup? The iPhone, like all iDevices is NOT a backup of your media, but rather a mirror of the content in the iTunes library on your computer.
If your contacts, pics, etc are not on your computer, no backups of the iPhone exist, and they are not on the phone, they are gone.
No one can magically make them re-appear.

Your computer needs to be authorized with the "old" Apple ID. Pull done Store > Authorize... And type the credentials when prompted.

Convert Purchased DRM-Protected Songs to DRM-Free Versions

Convert Purchased DRM-Protected Songs to DRM-Free Versions
as per iTunes / Help / Usage rights for iTunes Store purchases:
"All songs offered by the iTunes Store now come without DRM protection. These DRM-free songs, called iTunes Plus, have no usage restrictions and feature high-quality 256 kbps AAC encoding.
If you have older iTunes Store purchases that are now available as iTunes Plus downloads, you may upgrade your existing purchases. To do so, visit the iTunes Store and follow the onscreen instructions."
Looking at iTunes / Store / Purchased, which shows the list of songs that I have purchased, I do not see how I can tell if my older songs are with or without DRM protection.
How do I identify what songs have DRM protection? I want to convert any purchased music, which have DRM protection, to newer DRM-free versions.
Thank you.

Yank,
The upgrade program described in that document was discontinued by Apple a few months ago. Here are the options now:
If you have a lot of tracks to upgrade, you can do it by subscribing to iTunes Match and following the instructions by which to delete your DRM copy and download the non-DRM matched copy. See the section "Can I upgrade my previously purchased music to iTunes Plus?" in this guide: iTunes Store: iTunes Plus Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
If you only have a few to upgrade, you can buy them singly.
How do I identify what songs have DRM protection?
In your library, use Songs view, and look at the "Kind" column for ones with the word "Protected."
If you do not see Kind, enable it by going to View > View Options.

After updating I can not get over 1000 songs from my library to play. I spent 2 hours with Apple support and he could not fix it. Anybody got any ideas?

I have about 800 more songs on my nano than itunes, due to a crash. How can I get the songs onto itunes from the ipod, or at least get the new music ive gotten since the crash onto my ipod without deleting all the other songs when it syncs?

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If you have failed to bakup, then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases

Why can't i sync songs from other sources in my library into my iPhone?

why can't i play songs from other sources in my liberay that i sync in my phone

Un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.

Ho do I get latest news about songs from other countries?

I am located in North America, that's why I think my itunes store just give me the latest news about music from North America, but I want to download some songs from other counties too.
Such as Japan/ Taiwan, is there a way to set my itunes store to show the latest musicfrom other eastern counties? thx!!

You can look at other stores, but you will not be able to purchase tracks from any iTunes Store other than the Canadian store. The content owners will not allow cross-border sales.

Songs from other countries' iTunes stores

Why are songs from other countries' iTunes stores not available for purchasing in the American iTunes store? I found a song that I had been looking for in the French iTunes store, but could not buy it. I was annoyed. Is there any way around it?

In order to buy from a certain country's iTMS, you do need
either: a CC with a billing address in that country
or: an address in that country plus a prepaid card/gift voucher issued by iTMS in that country.
If you don't meet one of this conditions, there is no solution for you.
-sorry but the copyright holders wanted it that way; it's their decision to offer a certain track in a certain country or not to offer it.
Tip; This question on how to buy from another country is asked several times a week in the forums. In the future, I would suggest you do a search on your issue to see, if it has already been answered, that way you don't have to wait quite a long time for a response.
