Converting secured audiobook to mp3 or wav.

Hello there,
I recently bought a audiobook trough the Itunes store and now have a problem.
Since they are secured files and each of the files are over an hour of playtime I can't convert them to mp3 or burn them to an audio cd since they are way to big/long.
Now I only can play them on my computer, which I don't want.
I don't have an Ipod, just a mp3 player..
Is there a way I can put them on my MP3 Player..?

if you bought it through audible, you can probably go to their web site to check support for your MP3 player. If it is supported, download the Audible Manager and use it to transfer the audiobook to your player

How to convert AMR files into MP3 or WAV?

Hello,
I'm not sure if that's the right place to ask, but I couldn't find any more suitable one, so...
Can anyone recommend a nice convenient application to convert my phone's recordings from AMR format to MP3 or WAV - eg. something I can conveniently listen to on my PC?
Thanks in advance!

Many of my friends recommend iDealshare VideoGo to convert AMR files to MP3 or WAV.
Today i just have a try, and find it really works great in converting AMR to MP3, WAV, WMA, AAC, AIFF etc with high audio quality.
what i like prefer is its drag and drop fuction and batch conversion fuction.
Here is the step by step guide at How to Convert AMR to MP3, WAV?
Hope it also helps for you.

You should be able to use iTunes to convert your music to a different file format.
*To convert a song's file format:
Choose iTunes > Preferences, then click the Advanced button at the top of the window and click Importing.
From the Import Using pop-up menu, choose the encoding format that you want to convert the song to, then click OK to save the settings.
Select one or more songs in your library, then choose Advanced > Convert Selection to MP3, Convert Selection to AAC, Convert Selection to Apple Lossless, Convert Selection to AIFF, or Convert Selection to WAV. (The menu item changes to show what's selected in your Importing preferences.)
To convert all the songs in a folder or on a disk, hold down the Option key and choose Advanced > "Convert Selection to," then choose the folder or disk containing the songs you want to convert. All the songs in the folder or on the disk will be converted except songs you purchased from the iTunes Store. (Purchased songs are encoded using a protected AAC format that prevents them from being converted.)
*reference: iTunes Help
Hope this helps.

Converting iTunes (m4a) to mp3 or wav

I have a fairly extensive iTunes library which I sync with my iPod Nano 2. My daughter has just been given an mp3 player for her birthday and I'm trying to find a simple way of exporting & converting tracks for her to either mp3 or WAV format without losing my m4a. Any ideas short of burning original to CD then re-importing under her account (where import of CD's is set to mp3)?
I have managed to open an iTunes track as m4a within Quicktime and save as a wav file, but the file size went from 2.6 MB to 11.7 MB - not very practical.
Cheers, Andy

If the file is an .m4p then it is DRM protected and you can only burn is as an audio CD - you can figure out the rest.
If the file is a .m4a - no DRM - then you should be able to convert it to an mp3 within iTunes. Change your iTunes import options prefs.

Convert Cav to MP3 or Wav

Hello you guys, I wanna convert Cav audio to MP3 or Wav. How do it ?

I am not familiar with Cav. Do you mean .caf?

Re: conversion to mp3 or .wav

I am using Adobe Photoshop to create a slideshow with digital camera pix. It has option to browse and look for music to incorporate in the show in mp3 or .wav format. When I browse and go to my music/itunes/artist/album and open the album folder, I don't see any songs (it displays only files of type mp3 or wav-- there are no other options).
I can only assume that however itunes works, it is not in a format of mp3 or .wav. Is this a correct assumption? What format does itunes use?
If so, how do I convert itunes format to mp3 or wav? When I click on a desired song from my library in itunes and go to "advanced" at the top I see an option "convert to AAC". What is this?
When I simply drag from itunes library onto desktop it creates a .m4a extension. Adobe Photoshop doesn't seem to recognize this either. Any thoughts?

AAC is a newly developed codec by a conglomeration of several companies and is used with the MPEG4 ISO standards. It is not proprietary to Apple but it is not MP3 or WAV. See:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/technologies/aac/
http://www.vialicensing.com/products/mpeg4aac/standard.html
If you get the "convert to AAC" selection in the menu, then your importing settings are for AAC. Go to: Edit=>Preferences=>'Advanced/Importing' tab and change your setting to MP3.
Then select the song you want to convert and iTunes will create a new MP3 file for you.
Post back if you have more questions.

Converting an MP3 to WAV -- How can I convert an MP3 to wav format, 16 bit

How can I convert an MP3 to wav format, 16 bit, 44,1 khz? I like the program Switch which I know can convert MP3s, but how to I set it up for the specific settings that I need?

Just import into a logic session. Then bounce at the specs you require. Logic or Waveburner, iTunes and even Quicktime I think can each do this easily.
A question though. I am assuming you are converting an MP3 to 44.1/16 bit just so you can play the file in a consumer quality CD player?? IF so - that makes sense.
But if you are doing this because you think it will improve the sound quality of your MP3, I will save you some time here. It won't improve the sound quality at all. It will just turn the MP3 into a larger audio file.
44.1/16 bit resolution enables you to have a much better sounding file than MP3 formats, but not by going at it this way.
No offense to you if you know all of this already. I am assuming that you may not know this - because if you did you would also likely know how to convert an audio file.

Mp3 to wav converter

i am looking for mp3 to wav converter Api (in j2me) how it can be done help needed plz it 's urgent !
hoping for an early reply

no way!
you've got a java api for j2se: the javasound api but it can't be available in j2me. best thing to do is to use a soft (like cdex,...) to convert mp3 to wav or, if you have an available server (like tomcat), create a app that uses javasound api to convert your songs when you put them on the server (via an admin console)

Converting From Mp3 to Wav and also dividing a song.

Is it possible to convert an mp3 to .wav and then split the entire song into 10-second wavs. If there is a way, please share. Thank you. I'm using Quicktime Pro

Nathan, welcome to these discussions.
Open the .mp3 file with QT Pro.
Set the "in and out" (selection markers) to the ten seconds you wish to convert and use "Copy" from the Edit menu.
Open a new QT Player window (Control-N) and then Control-V (paste).
Choose "Export" (File menu) and then choose Sound to Wave.
Repeat for all the conversion you want to make.

Convert mp3 to Wav?

Hi, i'm looking for a software that would allow me to convert mp3 to wav files. I have to upload files but the source only accepts wav files and I can't get itunes to export to wav format so your help would be much appreciated.

I've used EasyWMA to convert audio formats before, and it may be able to do what you want. There is a limited free trial available:

You can also try searching versiontracker.com or macupdate.com with the file types to see if there is other conversion software available.

Converting to MP3 or WAV - keep getting msg - protected files cant convert-

As I responded on the other thread, you will need to check "include CD text" in your burning preferences.

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.

Converting Soundtrack Pro files to MP3 or wav

Can someone tell me how to convert a .stmp file into an mp3 or wave file? Do I need third party software to do this? Thanks.

If it's a stmp file, I suppose it's a multitrack project. Go to the File menu and select Export>Export Mix. In the window appearing, you'll be able to select the bounce as AIFF, SDII, WAV or AAC but not mp3. If you want a mp3, use AIFF and use iTunes to convert it.

I saved my aiff files to ext. storage. Now how can I retrieve them and convert them to mp3 or wav files?

I was trying to free up space on my internal storage, so when I created files in Garage Band, I thought it would be a great idea to store them in my external hard drive. However, I now wanted to retrieve my files and burn them to a cd. When I dragged and dropped them to iTunes, they showed up in my playlist, but when I tried to burn the playlist, I got a message telling me there were no files in the playlist. Then I looked into putting them back into Garage Band and transferring from there to iTunes. But do not know how to do this, or even if I can do this. Do I have to always convert my aiff files to either wav or mpe files before I store them? Is it a lost cause for me now? Would really appreciate help on this.

On the external drive, in the Finder, do a get Info on one of those & report size, where, etc.
Also, if you double click on one, does iTunes play it?
You could save some space without losing quality by converting them to Apple Lossless.
