Converting iTunes into MP3 file

Hey everybody,
OK, I've purchased music from iTunes store. I want to convert them into mp3 so I can download them into my Palm t/x. But I keep getting the same message telling me that the song is "protected and cannot be converted." Is there any way to get around this? Thanks for any help.

Thanks so very much that worked like a dream...now I have to buy another card...The one I have just doesn't have enough memory ;o)

Convert AAC into mp3 files?

Hi all my music is in i tunes and I want to put some onto a 2 gb memory stick so that I can play it in my cay unfortuantly it only accepts MP3 files does any one know how I convert them .
Many Thanks

Yes. When you convert them to MP3s the original AAC versions will still be in your library as well. Anyways, once they have been converrted, locate these newly converted tracks on your HD and copy them over to the memory stick.

New iTunes 4.9 doesn't convert .mpg into .mp3 or aac ?

hello support!
I'm a producer in a german radiostation. we're working with soundfiles saved in .mpg files (mpeg1 audio). In past (with version 4.8) it was possible to import that files into itunes and convert it into mp3 or aac. Now, with that new podcast version, it doesn't work. If I try, I get an unknown error "(-50)". does anyone know about this problem?
and another question: why does itunes play that .mpg files without any problems and ipod doesn't ???

Dennis,
What I did:
1) I bought apple quicktime pro do not follow me in this it won't help you.. I got angry and at the apple store they said I would get my money back because I asked them BEFORE I bought and they said it would work. It doesn't
2) I downloaded MPEG streamclip (free) at http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
AND....
It works! You do not need to buy the Apple quicktime MPEG 2 component rubbish, you do not need it if you convert just audio!
I have MP2 files with 384 kbbs and I was looking a bit odd when they showed up as 192 kbbs but that is per stereo channel so the total comes to 384 again.
I transferred the files into AIFF and it works I do see a conversion into AC3 is that AAC? well if you can convert to AIFF you can use iTunes again to convert to AAC or MP3!
so now you can do the job! I am now, after a few hours, again back to start to work..... thanks iTunes boys!
there is another app at http://www.dekorte.com/projects/shareware/SoundConverter/ is seems to do the job as well but it'll cost you 10 dollar. And I do not know if it is as good as the free app...

Why can't i convert itunes into an mp3 format?

I looked on Apple's website for information on how to convert itunes into a mp3 format on your windows pc. I followed each step. I clicked on Edit and Preferences and set it to Mp3 converter. I then selected the songs I wanted to convert into. Then I clicked Advanced. When I clicked Advanced, it showed "Create Mp3 Version" but it was grayed out. And i was unable to click it. I do not know if I did something wrong or..? Please help me out with this situation because I really want to convert it to an Mp3 format to post it on a website. Thanks.

It doesn't work if you simply open it in a browser tab. When you download it and open in an Adobe window you will be able to click on it and type your information in the spaces provided.

Converting WMA to MP3 files - struggling

Bckground info - compaq presario laptop (3-4 years old)
Problem experienced - is trying to convert WMA to MP3 files to transfer to flash drive for use through he usb port in my audio amp. Can't find a means in WMP and struggled with Winff and Jodix, neither of which seem to want to transfer the files once identified. Any safe suggestions. (just downloaded a load of dross from Google in a search for Jodix amongst which was something called YAC which was most reluctant to uninstall).

iTunes cannot use wma files so it needs to convert them.
They will not get added to iTunes until they are converted so you cannot choose to convert them later.
I noticed I cannot load additional WMA files during the conversion process. I have to wait until the process is complete before loading more files.
Why not add them all at once?
File -> *Add folder to library* and pick the top level folder where the wma files are.

Convert .caf into .mp3

Hi
I have a problem with converting a CAF file into a MP3 file. I used the SpeakHere example and want to send this file. But I didn't figure it out how to convert this into mp3. According to the iPhone Dev docs there's no mp3 functionality...
Does anybody know how to convert it?
Thanks and Regards

You can play mp3s in the simulator but they won't work on the device. If you really want to convert from a .caf, just use the export function of Quicktime.

Why can I not convert pdf into word file?

why can I not convert pdf into word file?

This is not a feature of Adobe Reader. You'll need either Acrobat or a subscription to one of the web-based services that Adobe offers (like PDF Pack) to do it.

Converted WSDL into .java-files - and now?

I should implement a client for an existing web service. All I have is a .wsdl-file of the web service to call.
Therefore I used the eclipse's functionality to convert .wsdl into .java files, which generated some files for me, for example:
- interface XXX extending java.rmi.Remote
- interface XXXService extends javax.xml.rpc.Service
- class XXXProxy implements XXX
- class XXXServiceLocator extends org.apache.axis.client.Service
- class XXXSoapBindingStub extends org.apache.axis.client.Stub implements XXX
- class XXXRfcException extends org.apache.axis.AxisFault implements java.io.Serializable
- class XXXRfcExceptions implements java.io.Serializable
My question... what to do now? How can I get the service and call its functionality?
Your help is really, REALLY appreciated...

Hi,
Write client application like below.
public class Client{
public static void main(String [] args) throws Exception {
// Make a service
XXXService service = new XXXServiceLocator();
// Now use the service to get a stub which implements the SDI.
AddressBook port = service.getAddressBook();
// Make the actual call
Address address = new Address(...);
port.addEntry("Russell Butek", address);
Thanks&Regards,

Converting pictures into PDF files

How do I convert pictures into PDF files, is this possible?

If you want to use acrobat reader, you have to pay for it.
So, I use other free or cheap apps to do so =>
* powerpdf
* dragonprinter (draakprinter in dutch)
* writepdf
* scanapp (to convert parts of a picture)
I even think that almost every scan-app can convert pictures into pdf's.

How to convert bytes[] into multipage File object

Hi,
How to convert bytes[] into multipage File object??
I used the java.io.SequenceInputStream to concatenate two input streams (basically .pdf files) into a single input stream. I need to create a single multipage pdf file using this input stream.
Thanks for you help in advance..

Only text format allows you to concatenate two files together to get a longer files.
Most formats have a header and a footer and so you cannot simply add one to the other.
You need to use a PDF API which will allow you to build the new document (if one exists)

MPEG Layer 3 audio files have changed into MP3^^ files,What is ^^

MPEG Layer 3 audio files have changed into MP3^^ files,What is ^^ and why wont the music files play anymore??

I reinstalled OSX on my macbook which previously played all avi files with no difficulties. Now I am having difficulties playing Avi files with quicktime PRO that use the Mpeg layer 3 codec. I have done the following with no success: downloaded flip 4 mac, divx, xvid, 3ivx, Xvid codecs, changed MIME settings, and deleted and reinstalled.
Depending on the specific version and sometimes the ordering in which they were installed, you may have created a conflict among the components here. While most current VidX components should be able to play MPEG Layer-3 audio, v5.1.1 is the only free VidX codec that is bi-directional. If that is not a problem, then I would recommend you remove (or "hide") all components in the main "Library > QuickTime" folder. Next I would determine if one (or more) of the AVI associated components can actually play the specific files mentioned on their own. You do this by installing a compenent to be tested, opening the player with one of the problem movies, and checking for correct audio and video playback. Log your results, close the player, remove the tested component, and move on to the next component to be tested. Once you deterime which component(s) may function correctly, I would then move on to determine which specific components are in conflict by repeating the tests but leaving the components installed after each test. In this case start with a component that is known to work and is the one you most desire to use (if more than one works). If the player stops working, then you have located a potential conflict. Set the offending component aside and continue testing until all components have been tested and are either installed or set aside. The last step is to simply evaluate component alternatives and configure you system for those files most often played. In my case the VidX v6 Pro components did not seem to get along with the 3ivX D4 v4.5 and/or Casio AVI and/or XVIDDelegate component combination.

Converting itunes to mp3

I downloaded some songs online into itunes and I want to convert them to an mp3 file for my mp3 player on my phone (NOT an iphone). I went to "Advanced" and "Create MP3 Version." Then I don't know where to look for the mp3 version.

Then I don't know where to look for the mp3 version.
Couple of ways...
iTunes menu View -. View options. Tick Kind and sort on this column. MP3 files are *MPEG audio file*.
Or (better) create a smart playlist.
Match rule:
Kind is *MPEG audio file*.
