Is there a way to convert an M4P music file (off of iTunes) to an MP3 music file?
M4P to MP3
- Thread starter bojjenclon

M4P files are nasty little beggars. Only iPods can play songs with iTunes' DRM protection, so forget it if you want to port your iTunes songs to a PSP or a regular MP3 player.
iTunes already stocks certain albums free of DRM protection; they may be simple MP3s, but it's more likely that they're M4A files. Whether or not you can change an M4A file into an MP3 by changing the file extension I'm not sure.
It's generally inadvisable to include licensed music in your games (which I assume is the reason you're asking.) If you leaf through Venetia's copyright law thread (and a couple other threads that have popped up around these parts,) it should be clear enough that licensed music is going to give you nothing but trouble. Seriously, it's bad news.

Thats not why I'm asking. I'm trying to get some songs onto my MP3 player, which is not an iPod
If they're not laden with DRM, try using something like dBpowerAmp music converter to convert them to MP3. Or the latest CDex, though I'm not sure if it can decode m4a.
If they're crippled with DRM, simply burn them to a CD (a real disc isn't required, you could just burn them to a virtual CD) and rip them back. Again, CDex is great for this =)
Lesson? Just use mp3 in the first place.

ok... I'll try your suggestions
Try using Super (C) you can convert loads of stuff with it!
You might want to read the download guide, because it's really tricky to find the download file. The download guide is in the link below

A quick google search of M4P results in

Google's your friend
Mind you, it looks like ass and has a cost attached to it, so you'd be stuck with trial unless you feel like buying crapware. Just google it if you're dissatisfied and find an app that'll do the trick.
