    I can't play the songs I bought from i - tunes on windows media player and also because I paid for them I want to convert them to MP3 so I can play on my cars MP3 player.
    Any solutions to this?
    Thanks, Dan

    MPEG-4 Audio File (Protected), This is the type of file that the music is in when you download (buy) songs from i - tunes................
    How can you covert these to MP3's.

    Nah all you have to do is burn them on to a CD, and then import them into WMP.

    I did the same, but in opposite - protected MP3 in WMP into AAC iTunes.

    In the future you can just not use iTunes altogether and buy songs for $.02 a megabyte at

    www.allofmp3.com

    where you can download the song you want in what codec you want MP3, MPG4, WMA, OGG-Vorbis, and more.

    I've never used the iTunes music store but can you just convert them to mp3 in the advanced options? If that option isn't available right off go to Edit>preferences>importing>and change it to Mp3 and the encoding rate of your choice. Hope this works but then again I wouldn't know.

    That is true, but you can't convert protected AAC files this way.

    Protected ACC files, huh, never heard of those, so is that when you download them off apples store? Kind of annoying I guess, is there a Mp3 download option?

    exactlty that, and they have to be in aac format, which is a pro and con. pro being you are supporting the artists, apple, and its in the best format imho, but the con being you cant distribute it as freely as with mp3.

    Waaaaaay more space, you can only get like 17 of them on a CD, I've gotten over 170 mp3's.
