Converting .m4p files (iTunes) to .mp3 format for PSP

Is there a conversion program that will allow me to take an iTunes file (.m4p) and convert it to an .mp3 format so that my PSP will be able to recognize the file?

Ive not actually tried protected iTunes Store files with this solution so not sure if it works (if not, yes, you would need to burn them to Audio CD and re-impot them unprotected.)
AACs are compatible with the PSP as-is however, it's just the PSP does not like the .m4a file extension. Simply renaming the extension to .mp4 will address this.
On a PC, you can create a batch file on your PSP memory stick with the following command:
rename *.m4a *.mp4
Run this batch file after copying your iTunes AACs to the memory stick and they will work fine.
I'm sure the same can be achieved on a Mac with AppleScript or Automater, I don't have experience with those to achieve the same results though - perhaps someone could create a rename multiple files example?

  • Can't convert my itunes to mp3 format for my LYRA MP3 player

    I purchashed a mp3 player for my son. We have approximately 177 itunes I have purchased in my library. I can not convert them to mp3 format so I can download on player. Dialog box reads "files are protected and format can not be changed". Please help. I have paid for these tunes and would hate to do so again.

    I'm not sure I completely follow what it is you are trying to do, but it strikes me you're making it more complicated than need be.
    iTunes imports files in the format set in your preferences.  If you want to import as other than mp3 then set the other format in your preferences.
    iTunes is also set by default to put a copy of tracks you add into your iTunes folder.  You can unset this in preferences (I have this unset) but most people don't because it kind of messes up file management.  You can also temporarily disable it for files you are dragging to iTunes by holding the option key.  If you use iTunes for converting it will add them to iTunes - that's the way it behaves. I often use non-iTunes applications such as Max or XLD for doing my conversions (you also get to use the LAME codec for mp3 which some consider better than iTunes).
    You can add a column to your lists display which is format, or just go by the file size or bit rate display columns.  While not definitive, I can usually depend upon files saying 128k bitrate or 3 MB in size to be mp3 (I have almost no AAC tracks) vs. AIFFwhich would have much higher bitrate and much bigger files.
    If you have mp3 files and want to put them on a flash drive, highlight the items you want to add (it could be a whole playlist) and drag this from the iTunes window to the flash drive in a Finder window.

  • I have converted/copied my itunes oto mp3 format to play on my PC. unfortunatly I didi not specify a different folder fro the mp3's. I therefore have itunes side by side with my mp3's all in the same folder. How can I remove the mp3's into another folder.

    I have converted my itunes on my imac to mp3 format so i could play them on my pc. unfortunatly  i did not specify a seperate folder for the mp3's to be sent to once converted.
    i now have itunes and mp3's side by side in the itunes media folder. this has the effect of doubling my library.
    how can i get rid of the mp3's from this folder en mass, other than erasing them one by one, there are 7000!!!

    Click on 'Music' in the iTunes sidebar. Look to see whether you have a 'Kind' column:
    If you haven't, choose 'View Options' from the 'View' menu and check 'Kind':
    Now go to the Music list again and click on the label of the 'Kind' column. This will group all your AACs and MP3s together. Locate the MP3s: click on the top one. Hold the shift key and click on the bottom one to select them all. If you want to save them drag them to a folder on your Desktop. Then hit 'Delete'. IMPORTANT: when promted, choose to have them moved to the Trash, otherwise they will be removed from the list but kept in the actual library.

    Dr. P,
    Song files are just files.  You can copy them the way you copy any other files, like photos or documents.
    If any of the files are not already in MP3 format, and you wish to create MP3 versions, then you can convert them using iTunes, by following this guide:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550

    Your source video file is probably muxed.
    Neither QT Pro or iTunes has the ability to successfully encode a muxed video file with audio. You'll end up with video and no audio.
    See: iPod plays video but not audio of some exported files.
    You'll need to use some other third-party software to do the conversion. There's a handful of software available. Just search the forums and you'll find many titles mentioned.
    Try MPEG Streamclip.

    Thank you

    So it seems from reading the COMMAND manual that my first issue is that I used a 16GB SD card, and the manual says it will only recogize up to a 2GB SD card. I did use my MB Air's SD card slot and crated a folder and dragged the music files to it, then to the card. So I am going to get a 2GB card and try that next. Otherwise just stick with the iPOD connected. At least that is 8GB

  • I am trying to copy songs to an sd card for a digital photo frame. I changed my setting in iTunes to mp3 format before I downloaded the song but it didn't work. What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions? I would be very grateful!

    I am trying to copy songs to an sd card for a digital photo frame. I changed my settings in iTunes to mp3 format before I downloaded them but it did not work. What am I doing wrong? When I play the sd card in my mac or on a lenovo laptop it works but not in the photo frame. I would be grateful for any ideas as to what I am doing wrong.

    Unfortunately you've discovered too late how important it is to maintain an up-to-date backup of your iTunes library (and all other data of value).  You could, before wiping the drive, have considered making use of a commercial data recovery service that could (albeit at considerable cost) have extracted your library from the hard disk, even if virus infected.
    In the absence of that option, you will need to restore the content of your library from its original sources:
    Depending on your location, you may be able to re-download any iTunes Store purchases that are still available on the Store
    Likewise, most digital purchases from Amazon (including auto-rip copies of purchased CDs) should be available from the Amazon Cloud and via the Amazon Music application - the same may be true of other commercial sources for digital downloads
    Content imported from your CDs will have to imported again
    The specific situation that you describe regarding the music imported from your friend's external HDD suggests that either the source is badly organized and/or originates from a source other than iTunes (other media players may use alternative tags for information like artist, title, album, etc. that are not wholly consistent with how iTunes handle these).  Without details of the issues you're seeing it is difficult to suggest a remedy other than going through the media album-by-album, track-by-track, and correcting the inconsistencies.
    In the absence of a backup or access to the original library data there is no option other than painstakingly recreating your library as described above.  As you do so, you'll now realize how important creating and maintaining backups are - in my case I have at all times three separate duplicates of my library, in two different locations, where none is ever more than a week old compared to the content of my master library.

  • Converting a video to mpeg-2 format for a TV station. Format profile set to "main@main" required. How do I do that? Help!

    I am converting a video to mpeg-2 format for a TV station and they require me to have a format profile set to "main@main." How do I do that? Help!

    Main@main aka MP@ML (main profile @ main level) is the conformance point for most
    cable and satellite TV systems.
    The station should be able to supply you with specific specs but more than likely they are conforming to what DG deliverable specs also are for MPG-2. One of the big things is in the Xtras tab of the setting.
    You must have the YUV 4:2:2 box checked. The caveat being you will not be able to check the files playback on your system.  To my knowledge QT/Mac has yet to come up with a way to playback these files(you can play them but there will be no picture).

  • Hi, I have problem with importing MOV files from SJCAM 4000. MOV files are in supported formats for Adobe Premiere Elements 11. But if I'm importing MOV file, only audio part is imported, video part is not imported. How can I solve this problem?

    Hi, I have problem with importing MOV files from SJCAM 4000. MOV files are in supported formats for Adobe Premiere Elements 11. But if I'm importing MOV file, only audio part is imported, video part is not imported. How can I solve this problem?

    haben
    From looking at the specifications of your camera (SJCam 4000), we know already what video compression your camera is using. It is H.264.
    A H.264.mov file should be supported by Premiere Elements 11. On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 11 running?
    Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer? And, are you running QuickTime and Premiere Elements 11 from a
    User Account with administrative privileges? Please go to Premiere Elements 11 Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime to confirm that you find
    presets there for the QuickTime choice there.
    What are the properties of these H.264.mov files - is it 1080p30 (1920 x 1080p30)  or something else? Do you know if this camera is recording with a variable or
    a constant frame rate?
    Please review and consider and then we will decide what next.
    Thank you.

  • Converting .m4p files to .mp3/.wav/.wma

    Any suggestions to help convert an iTunes file to mp3, wav or wma would be greatly appreciated. Another application I am using requires one of these three files and cannot recognize the origial .m4p file. Thanks in advance.
    HP Laptop   Windows XP  

    The .m4p file extension is Apple's "protected" (DRM) format. The letter p stands for protected.
    Burn these files to audio CD format (allowed by the terms of use) and then covert this new .aiff file.

  • How to convert MP4 on iTunes to MP3 or WAV for Windows Media Player?

    I have purchased lots of audio books online, but until recently had not purchased much music. I recently purchased an album, and it downloaded nicely into iTunes, and of course I can access it on my 80 gig iPod. But when I tried to move a copy into Windows Media Player so I could copy it into a little MP3 player that I bought for special use, I found that I could not get a copy to convert. DOes anybody know how I can convert a Store purchase from MP4 to MP3 or WAV file for use with Windows Media Player?

    +"I recently purchased an album... so I could copy it into a little MP3 player..."+
    You shopped at the wrong place. The iTunes Music Store does not sell (and has never sold) anything in MP3 format. If you want MP3s for your MP3 player, shop at online stores that sell MP3s, such as amazon.com.
    As for any iTunes DRM-encumbered tracks you are already stuck with, take Zevoneer's advice and use iTunes to burn them to an audio CD.
