Anyone good with music files??

[SpottyFish]

I just downloaded a couple songs from itunes, in hopes I could put them on my MP3 player. Problem being that it downloaded the songs in the .m4p format, which is a file type that is not recognized by the software that I use to put songs on my MP3 player (can't import the songs into my software).

Is there an easy way that I can convert the file to .mp3 or is there another software that I can download that may be compatable with my MP3 player that will recognize the file.

This is giving me a headache....

just use itunes to convert it, right clikc the song in itunes and sleect conver to mp3

[SpottyFish]

I had already tried that, it says it can't convert a "protected" song.

i get that too sometimes. never took the time to figure it out. if someone knows it would be great if u shared it

burn it onto a cd then put the cd back in the comp it will load as an mp3 file instead.

Hmmm...actually, I think I found some instructions on the internet.

I didn't realize that Apples intention was to make the music so that it can only be played on an ipod.....that's stupid, I paid for the music, I should be able to play it anywhere I want.

Woohoo!! It worked!

The link to the instructions that I last posted said you need two programs...you don't, all you need is JHymn

Which is why Itunes and Ipods are a poor product... eventually people will figure it out when they start trying other products.... I could make a direct connection to a snowboard company, but i'll refrain =D
