CONVERTING FROM ITUNES MP4 TO MP3, WMA E.T.C.  ....How do you do it?

How do i convert my MP4's to MP3, WMA e.t.c. with itunes, so i can play the music i purchase, on my Archos, or other MP3 player.
ps sorry for the capital letters,

No, with protected files the only thing you can do is use iTunes and iPods. Burning them to CDs doesn't erase the copy protection. Nor can you transfer them to SD cards and get them to play on a phone or anything. Protected files are just that, totally locked. There are programs out there that advertise being able to break that protection, but so far none of the ones I tried did anything except corrupt the file so that even iTunes wouldn't play it.

    Hello @MK,
    This functionality has been moved under the File menu in iTunes 11, where you will find a submenu labelled "Create New Version." From here you can choose the format you would like it converted to. Do keep in mind that most music purchased from the iTunes Store (unless they're iTunes Plus purchases) cannot be converted.

  • Can i use an iTunes Gift Card to rent a movie from iTunes on my iPad? And if so, how?

    Can i use an iTunes Gift Card to rent a movie from iTunes on my iPad? And if so, how?

    Why can't I use an iTunes gift card in Canada to purchase apps for my iTouch?
    Inquiries to the iTunes Store have yielded only the following explanation:
    "Due to tax laws and commerce restrictions for software in Canada, customers residing in Canada may only purchase games and applications using a credit card."
    What these "laws/restrictions" might be have never been identified.
    Can I somehow exchange the giftcards that I have for App gift cards?
    There are no "app gift cards". Again, you can only use a credit card to purchase software in the Canadian iTunes Store.
    Problem is I don't have a credit card to purchase the apps.
    Perhaps you could obtain one of the "prepaid" credit cards some banks offer. If not, then the only way you'll be able to buy apps is to get someone to allow you to use their credit card.

    If you're syncing with a different iTunes library than the one you previously synced with, then there is no way around it. You're gonna loose the old data. The only way round it would be to make sure that all the music files on your iPhone is also in your iTunes library. If you still have access to the computer with the old library, you could copy the files on to an external harddrive, and then import them into your new iTunes library.
    If it is in fact the same library, then the music currently on your iphone, is also in your itunes library. Just make sure that the artists/albums/playlists, or whatever you sync contains these tracks, that you allready have on your phone and don't want deleted. What i do is, i create a playlist specifically for my iPhone, and i set it up to only sync with this playlist. Whenever i hear a track from my iTunes library or buy a new track that i want on my phone, i just drag it to this playlist and next time i synchronize, it's there without deleting anything else.

  • I have some audio files on my previous phone which I would like to export to my new iPhone 5. I am told that you can only import files from iTunes. Is that true? If not, how do I import files from my phone - or my Macbook pro laptop-to my phone?  Thanks!

    iTunes will only import music from your phone that was purchased from the iTunes store.  To transfer music from other sources you have to use 3rd party software, such as PhoneView.

    After software update I can't drag  songs from iTunes directly into Garageband timeline, always could before, how can I fix this?

    Same problem here but figured it out: Drag the song from the Media Browser tab (after selecting iTunes at the top) at the bottom right when you open a new GarageBand project. Hope this helps you -- working perfectly for me!

  • CONVERT from iTunes to other FORMATS (AAC, AIFF, MP3, WAV)

    Came across a problem in trying to get music purchased from iTunes to be recognized by other media players (Quicktime or Final Cut Express). I found how to get iTunes to export to cd/dvd disks in AIFF format (and other formats).
    Steps used:
    From iTunes:
    Create a new playlist folder in iTunes (under file)
    Drop the songs you wished to use into the playlist folder
    Go to the iTunes main menu,
    select 'Preferences'
    select 'Advanced'
    select 'Import'
    using "Import Using" select the format (AAC, AIFF, MP3, WAV) you desire
    Input your CD/DVD disk to burn
    highlight your Playlist file in iTunes that you want to convert
    select 'File' in iTunes,
    select "Burn Playlist to disc"
    What you end up with is a CD/DVD with the music files in the format you selected -(I needed AIFF) from there you can use the disk or copy your converted files back into Final Cut or other software for use.
    Hope this helps others having similar issues

    Have you tried other formats, besides AIFF?
    You can only burn purchased music to an
    b Audio CD
    and the Finder will tell you the files are AIFF. Actually the files on an Audio CD are PCM, but Mac OS 'sees' them as AIFF.
    You can't convert purchased music in other formats, because it's protected.

  • How to convert itunes mp4 to mp3

    how to convert itunes mp4 to mp3

    So I'm being exact. You cannot "convert" a video file (with audio), to audio only.
    You can extract the audio, or record the audio into an audio programme etc. as a way of obtaining the audio only. But convert... no.
    I answered the question. I also asked the OP to give further information, so that we could possibly provide a suitable solution. After all, as lllaass has suggested, perhaps the OP wants to make a ringtone.

  • Converting from iTune's format to MP3

    How do I take the tunes that are in my iTunes library and put them on a Cd/DVD so that I can play them in a regular car stereo?
    A friend of mine said that iTunes are not really in a MP3 format, and that is the reason the car does not see them.
    Anyone know how to do this? Do I need special software or hardware?
    Thanks
    Doug

    To burn songs on an Audio CD (regular CD as you name it), the format of the songs is unimportant.
    Wether they are MP3, AAC, AIFF, WAV or Apple Lossless, it doesn't matter.
    They are converted 'on the fly' into the proper Audio CD format (PCM).
    To burn them on MP3 CD, the songs have to be converted to MP3, if they are not already mp3s.
    This article tells you how to convert songs:
    iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format.
    Hope this helps.
