Is there a way to remove an attribute from a music file? If you open the Music program on MacOS and then you select a music file by right clicking and selecting Get Info - then click the File tab then there will be personal information recorded in the file such as Purchased By with your name. What terminal command will remove that information?

I tried
Code:
 xattr -c
but that didn't work.
 
Most attributes can be modified straight from the Music app. I am pretty sure though that you cannot remove the "purchased" information, since it's part of the DRM of the file
