MP3 - iTunes question

[mangle]

Right I want a Creative ZEN X-Fi and it says :
More Content, Endless Enjoyment
Listen to your music in multiple supported formats, such as MP3, WMA, and (non-protected) AAC (m4a) from iTunes Plus.

Now, the music I downloaded from iTunes store is that protected aac?

[Recursion]

Yes, its M4A.

[Decode]

Yeah, but you can remove the DRM and convert it to MP3.

[mangle]

How so?

[Recursion]

Using a program like MyFairTunes, although, that X-Fi MP3 player supports the DRM'd music anyway.

[mangle]

Ah so I could put my iTunes music on anyway?

[Recursion]

According to the description it can.


EDIT: Oh wait (un-protected) lol, yeh you'd need to remove the protection! :P

One easy way to do it is to put all the music you've Purchased into a new Playlist, burn the Playlist to an 'Audio Disk' (Check this in Edit > Preferences) and then Import the CD as a high-quality MP3 (Yet again Edit > Preferences) et viola.

a few years back when there weren't many programs for this i just wrote a cd and ripped it again in wmp into mp3 format, worked a piece of cake. A rewritable wouldn't cost so much depending on how many songs..

I'd go for a program though, save you the hassle. Google is your friend!

I have a program called NoteBurner, which makes a virtual CD drive and you can burn from iTunes onto this virtual drive, which then puts the songs into a folder on your PC.

Christ this has gone WAY over my head LOL.

Is noteburner free? It sounds simplest.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned TuneBite... Yeah TuneBite is fastest, easiest and simply the best (doo, doo doo doo, better than all the rest, simply the best..) So get TuneBite! You can get it from ThePirateBay.
