converting m4p to mp3...

[triumph_013]

does anyone know how to convert the protected itunes m4p files to mp3 files on a new macbook pro? i have searched and searched but everything i find is for windows based computers or it requires an older version of itunes, and another program i tried couldn't be opened in safari for some reason. please help.

sorry dude but i already tried...like i said all i found were windows based stuff and i have a mac...dont worry about it though...i burned it on a cd and ripped it back as mp3...lost some sound quality but it got the job done

ive burned a cd with the mp4 on it, then just ripped it back using a program that rips them as mp3s

Prime example of why to buy DRM protection free music from somewhere like allofmp3 rather than from Apple's i-tunes music store.

its not incredibly hard to get around on windows, but ive never tried on a mac

doesn't that program handbreak do that?

[hgroberts]

hand break for the mac uses the analog hole, but yes, hand break

just try NoteBurner (http://www.noteburner.com) and it can do this in even better and easier way.

I've heard of people just burning and ripping, which has been suggested by p8ntballermark already.
I've heard of some people doing a direct recording of the sound files. Like, play it and record the sound within the same computer. However, that's a really big waste of time if you have more than a few files.
