Mp4 or mp3?

The songs I purchased from the itunes store are mpeg4 or mp4 files. I don't have an ipod, I have a phillips mp3 player that ONLY plays mp3 files. How do I convert the files from mp4 to mp3?

If you have purchased the protected AAC files, the only thing you can do is burn them to an audio CD. The iTunes plus files are unprotected & can be directly changed to another format.
The store has NEVER sold mp3 format files. I would suggest that if you need mp3 format that you check sites such as amazon.com, emusic.com, or audiolunchbox.com which sell files in mp3 format, no conversion required.

Yeah, I remember someone posted that solution a long time
ago. It seems if you load a file with the same name the cache
doesn't
know any better and adjusts the download size to the smaller
one. Maybe it's a good way to do it! Could it be a way to remove an
mp3 from someone's cache after it plays? hmmmm Will have to
do more testing.

Does anybody knows how find converter for mp4 to mp3, wav, or anything that readable for the car cd player?

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.

dvd ripper for mac

Thanks! But when I visit the site recently, I found the program was upgraded. Now it has 2 optimized output formats specially made for iPod 30G and 60G players! Thus it is easier and more convenient to use without complex settings as other software. Try it at http://www.imtoo.com/downloads/dvd-to-ipod.converter.exe
Another good news: there was a new discount suite ImTOO DVD to iPod Suitethat contains both the DVD to iPod Converter and iPod Movie Converter. It saves newly $20! Hope this can do some help

Error message when converting from mp4 to mp3

Three songs I just purchased won't convert from mp4 to mp3, although all of the other songs--including one from the same album these 3 are from--converted just fine. I keep getting "an unknown error occurred" message. How can I convert these 3 songs? Should I exit the iTunes store and reload it (in effect rebooting the store)? Or what?

Purchase only iTunes Plus songs, change the default encoder in iTunes to MP3 from the General section of its preferences, right-click the songs, and change them to MP3.

Really???? Not allowed to share MP4s or MP3s??? for piracy concerns??? really???? on a system where to subscrive I have to give my real name, address, credit card, etc.... im going to use it to share pirated movies??? really???
Adobe.... MP4s is the most coomn format used by EVERY SINGLE postproduction house in the world to show content to their clients.... MP3s is the most coomn format for audio post houses to show content to their clients..... now you want to change the way 99% of the post houses in the world make their business??? Really? Come down to Earth please!!!!

I totally agree! Crazy to think that we don't use these formats EVERYDAY! How are we supposed to deliver a file for YouTube? Do you know that a ton of radio spots are delivered as mp3's?
Looking else where.

New updates won't transfer any MP4 or MP3 files anymore!

Ok... before the itune and ipod update, I've had absolutely no problem transfering my mp4 video files or my mp3 files into my ipod. I usually just drag the icons from my folder to itunes.
Now after updating in itunes 7 and updating my ipod through it, I cant transfer any mp4 or mp3 files anymore?!?!? What the heck? It will show it transfering at the top (of itunes) but I cant locate ANY of the new files I placed in my ipod. I ALWAYS use manual update and I dont want to change it because I dont want to lose all of my stuff on my ipod.
What the heck is the problem???

WAIT A SEC!!!! i think i've figured it out... just DOUBLE check and TRIPLE check that you have the LATEST version of quicktime... I thought I did, but as it turned out, i had version 7.0.4 when the latest is 7.1. So after i upgraded quicktime, itunes worked fine, and i was able to load videos onto both itunes and my ipod successfully.... even the 1.2 update stopped causing problems. Once again, just MAKE SURE you have the latest update of quicktime. You don't need to go pro, just make sure you have 7.1. I hope this works for everyone like it did for me...

The normal situation would be wanting to convert .m4a (AAC or Apple Lossless) to .mp3 as these are both music file formats. The extension .mp4 is normally for a video file and iTunes itself will only convert music files from one format to another.
For details on how to convert between music formats see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1550
If you want to convert the audio track of an .mp4 video to a .mp3 file then you are going to need to use a different utility.

I cant play audio only mp4 or mp3 file with audio tag in firefox...how to tackle this?

In my web application m trying to play audio only mpeg 4 or mp3 files.I m using HTML5 <audio> tag to accomplish this,it smoothly working in chrome but not in firefox.Why this basic support not avail in Firefox??
Note: I read about some patent issues with mp4 and mp3 but i wonder why chrome browser can play those files.

Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.

Extracting files gives Mp4 to Mp3 window

I am trying to install the software downloaded from HP for my Officejet pro 8500A on windows 7. When it extracts, it then pops up a window saying Mp4 to Mp3. It asks for source file and destination file. I have no idea what this means nor why it is asking for it.
I have the .exe file downloded but when I say "run", it gets to this spot and stops. If I just close the window it never shows install. Can't load a driver or anything.
Any ideas would be helpful.
Thanks

Hey @mathewH ,
Thank you for taking the time to post on the HP Forums today! Hope you enjoy the experience.
I understand you are unable to download the drivers to your computer because your computer won't recognize the file or store it properly. This is not an issue with the printer this is an issue with the computer.
I recommend you look up the support number for your product's company and call them to solve this issue.
Best of luck and have a great day!
I worked for HP.

Sharing an iMovie as an MP4 with MP3 audio

I have an iMovie that is complete. I have uploaded a Quicktime movie to Google video. The video plays but no audio. They are telling me that they prefer MP4 with MP3 audio. If I go to share in iMovie, I choose "export" mode. This gives me the MP4 option, but no way to change the audio to mp3. Am I missing something?

iMovie doesn't use (or create) .mp3 (MPEG-1 Layer 3) audio.
From the Google video upload pages:
Technical Requirements:
We accept many popular formats, such as AVI, ASF, QuickTime, Windows Media and MPEG formats. For example, .avi, .asf, .mov, .wmv, .mpg, .mpeg, .mp4, .ra, .ram, and .mod are all acceptable file extensions. Please note that we currently do not accept Flash files. Specific video codecs we accept include H.264, H.263, MPEG 1/2/4 and motion JPEG.
The video must contain recognizable video content (video container files that do not contain video will not be accepted).
The frame rate should be above 12 frames per second.
The bitrate must be above 260 Kbps.
The video must be at least 10 seconds long.
If you have a video in another format, we will do our best to interpret it.
Quality Recommendations:
If possible, we suggest uploading the original source file. However, we recommend the specifications below for maximum quality and reasonable file size:
MPEG4 (mp3 or mp4 audio) at 2 mbps
MPEG2 (mp3 or mp4 audio) at 5 mbps
30 frames per second
640x480 resolution
4:3 frame
de-interlace
MPEG-4 Video and AAC audio codecs in a .mov container should work just fine.

Mp4 t0 mp3 conversion

im new to itunes and use Roxio Creator 7.5 to make videos.I need an mp3 and the songs i bought are mp4.When i follow the isnstrucions to convert to mp3, it tells me the songs purchsed are protected and it wont convert to mp3 .Any suggestions ??

I dont understand why you feel it's nessesary to make the mp4 to mp3 first
There are CD players that are capable of playing what are known as "MP3 disks" which are just CD-Rs that have MP3 files burned on them, or USB flash disks with MP3 files on them. gottscheer wants to create MP3 CD-R disks.
There are some (relatively few) newer CD players that are also capable of playing MP4 audio files, but I haven't seen many of these around.
You have to check the specs on your specific CD player to verify what kind of disks and files it can play.
any selfrespecing burning programs should be able to burn mp4 into cd digital audio as easy as burning mp3 into digital audio
Yes, but this creates a "playable" CD audio disk, which has its own unique format and the tracks are encoded as AIFF files. This is how commercial CD disks are encoded & burned. It's not the same as an MP3 disk.

Change existing song from mp4 to mp3, for another mp3 from ipod

How do I change an existing mp4 into mp3 to use in another mp3 player or phone.

If by any chance you mean "m4p" rather than "mp4" be aware that the m4p's are protected with DRM that prevents conversion.
