MPMediaItem | iCloud or DRM Protected

Is there any way I can check if a mediaItem fetched from iPhone's music library represents a iCloud Item?

I know MPMediaItemPropertyAssetURL property of a media Item is nil for both DRM Protected media as well as for iCloud item, but I have no idea how to determine if the item is DRM protected or it is available on cloud.

Thanks in advance

Solution

  • Starting in iOS 6, you can check if the item is in iCloud with the following property MPMediaItemPropertyIsCloudItem

    Since iOS 9.2, you can check MPMediaItemPropertyHasProtectedAsset for DRM. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/mediaplayer/mpmediaitempropertyhasprotectedasset?language=objc
