Utility for converting m4a into mp3 files?
I guess m4a files are some sort of mac or itoons audio file format.
Is there any simple utility that can generate an mp3 file from an m4a, without downloading 1/2 dozen different nero apps or codecs from shady web sites? |

The iTunes songs are copy protected. This basically re-records them to your hard drive which you could do on your own. Just choose burn CD and then re-import them in any format you want. 4Media MP4 Converter just puts a nice user interface on the task. iTunes only lets you do this 7 times with their protected files. |

Or just play them and record the ouput via loopback. Works nicely with a digital loopback. Sean |

I downloaded a music torrent and turns out the tracks are m4a's. I downloaded something called dBpoweramp music converter application (made by illustrate). Was able to convert them to .wav's (and mp3). Had no problem converting them, or playing them. Question: Media Player Classic and VLC player don't seem to know what to do with them (the m4a files). Am I missing a codec or something? m4a is supposed to be the same as mp4 (I think) which mpc and vlc are supposed to know how to play... |

It could be either lossy or lossless, and it could be copy protected or not. Many programs will play the lossy format. Some of those won't play the lossless versions. Of the media players I have... iTunes will play both and convert both to mp3. VLC will play and convert both. Foobar2000 (with an extra Apple Lossless plugin) will play and convert both. Winamp will play the lossy, but not the lossless. Windows Media Player will play the lossy, but not the lossless. I'm talking about non-copy-protected here. If you want to copy copy- protected files, you probably have to jump through a bunch of hoops. Some people burn them to audio CD with iTunes and then extract them to MP3. |
