Thurwanger Posted June 10, 2005 Report Posted June 10, 2005 I subscribe to iTunes and download music for my slideshows. Recently, the files I have downloaded are in mp4 format not mp3 which P2exe recognizes. Is there a way to convert mp4 music files to mp3 so I can use them in my slideshow? Thank you. Quote
JRR Posted June 10, 2005 Report Posted June 10, 2005 Thurwanger:I think this has been discussed on the forum before, but I can't recall the answer. I have a suspicion that you are out of luck...Do a search, bottom right of the forum, for "itunes" you might find something Quote

centreofengland Posted June 10, 2005 Report Posted June 10, 2005 If you have purchased music in iTunes then it will be licenced to your machine, editing/conversion software will not normally allow access to protected music.BUT....The other way to convert is to select the tracks and burn them to a CD (from within iTunes)Then use iTunes (or Windows media player 10) to rip them back as mp3 files (set 'import Using' as mp3).Ripping them back removes the licence protection, A bit of a flaw if the protection system really !n.b.) If the mp3 option is not there then you may need to install a mp3 encoder, I have one already installed on my pc so not sure if the mp3 option would not be there if you didn't. If you need an mp3 encoder then there is a FREE one which works great from lame.Download it Lame mp3 encoder.Hope this is of use to you if not, let me know Quote
Lin Evans Posted June 10, 2005 Report Posted June 10, 2005 Is there a way to convert mp4 music files to mp3 so I can use them in my slideshow? Thank you. Yes, just use an mp3 to mp4 converter. The "identity" will be preserved, but the converted mp4's will work just like any other mp3.....Here's a link to software which does this:http://www.cd-ripper.info/imtoo_audio_encoder.htmLin Quote
Thurwanger Posted June 28, 2005 Author Report Posted June 28, 2005 Thank you all so much for your replies!! I have not had the opportunity to need to convert MP4 files since I posted my question several weeks ago. It was nice to come back to the forum and find there were some solutions!! Quote
Thurwanger Posted June 28, 2005 Author Report Posted June 28, 2005 Okay. This is what I found worked for me and it was extremely easy. Go to http://www.hymn-project.org/ where you will find a free download for software that converts files. No need to burn to CD first. Thanks again to everyone for your suggestions. Quote
