    I thought I had heard Apple dropped the digital rights a while ago,
    too. I wonder if you could re-download your media without digital
    rights management?

    I looked it up quickly and it does seem possible. I'd have to hook up
    the iPhone to my PC with iTunes installed (something I've never done
    before) and move my collection to the PC. From there you can hook up
    your Android phone and use another file management program to accept
    files from File Explorer.

    Seems a little convoluted, but at least it can be done!

    It would be less convoluted to simply install iTunes on a PC, and
    redownload your purchases. Then the filenames will look normal.

    Yup... seems like connection your iPhone to the PC is an unnecessary step when you can just log into iTunes on the PC in the first instance.
