[bold]Help is needed[\bold] I bought about 250 songs and I need them converted by tonight... so how do I convert? Ellie...
iTunes M4p music is drm protected. At present, there are only two ways to convert it to MP3. One is burning m4p to CD first, then ripping CD to MP3. This will waste some CD-Rs. The other is recording m4p to MP3 with Tunebite straight. http://www.topvideopro.com/mp4-m4a-converter/convert-m4p-mp3-converter.htm
There are a couple programs that can convert music. Including TuneBite, Replay Music (applian Technologies), and many more. All of these will work but try this method first . . . Open iTunes. 1. Select "Edit" then "Preferences" 2. Select the "Advenced" tab. 3. Select the "Importing" tab. 4. Were it says "Import Using" select "MP3 Encoder" in the drop-down menu. Then hit "OK" 5. Right click the song you want converted to MP3 and in the menu the pops-up from the right click select the option to "Convert Selection To MP3" this will make a MP3 copy of the song. 6. You now have 2 copys of the song. one in .mp4 and one in .mp3 you can delete the .mp4 one if you want or keep it. It really doesnt matter. This should work if not the above mentioned ways are guarenteed
Well... I dont have a burner on my laptop... and I cant always use the net. Is there an easier download to do this... I tried the second way. but it doesnt work.
Well as far as I know there is a program called Jhymn that was supposed to be able to retrieve the "keys" that disables the DRM on the songs. But I believe it doesnt work with certain versions of the iTunes Music Store. So unless someone else knows of a way to strip the DRM from the files I give you my best wishes in getting through this. AND... You should let the RIAA know what a splenid time you have been having trying to get around DRM. Heres someting you might want to look into.. ttyl - PeaInAPod :~)
