Need to convert .m4p please help

Post by Side Swipe » Sun Jul 13, 2008 11:51 pm

Looking for a free, relatively stable, "clean" program that is able to covert those NASTY .m4p files that Itunes uses... I know better than to use DL music and video for AMV's this is more for a friend who wants me convert something for him and I thought my peeps here might be able to shed some light on the subject.

I hate Apple.... this is yet another of many reasons why...

Cheers

.m4p? My files come in .m4a... o_O
But anyway, you should just be able to burn the files to a disc, then rip them from the disc on to your hard drive. You are talking about music right? I'm a bit out of it. >_>

Burn the tracks to a CD with iTunes, then rip the song from your newly created CD with your favorite program as a WAV file to editing with (plus, your music on the CD is now DRM free!). For these and other tips, read my post at the bottom of this thread.

For brevity, here is the gist of it:
If you are having problems with burning the song to a CD via iTunes, read my post in this thread: http://www.animemusicvideos.org/phpBB/v ... hp?t=79414

If all that fails, then try QTFairUse (http://www.hymn-project.org/). It can decrypt the m4p file which then can be converted to a WAV using Winamp (http://www.winamp.com).

BTW, here's an easier way to do audio conversion with a current version of Winamp (5.32 or newer) without going into the Preferences and mucking with settings and plug-ins:

1. Open the audio file you wish to convert or add it into Winamp's Playlist Editor.
2. Right click on the song in the Playlist Editor to bring up the option menu.
3. Select Send to:, then Format Converter.
4. Choose the folder you wish to save your new file and how you want it named.
5. Select under Encoding Format, WAV Encoder v1.01.
6. Click OK (and wait).

ok to clarify I don't have itunes on my system nor will i EVER have it on my system last time i put itunes (that greedy inbred thieving piece of crap control hog of a program) on one of my PC's it quite effectively ground to a complete HALT my ability to create AMV's

however i have some files that are on flashdrive/hard drive that i need to finger out how to make them useable
