							I have some music that was ripped using itunes. I no longer have the cd and I am wanting to put the songs on my mp3 player but I can not because it is in the itunes format m4p or whatever it is.
 I have a lot of other music that  is like this also.
 
 How do I convert these songs to the mp3 format.
 
 I don't want to burn them to a cd and then back to my HD.
 
 I have heard about a couple of programs, but don't know if they are legit or not or which one is better. ( Soundtaxi, Tunebite )
 
 Which software or method do you suggest?  Do you have a guide on how to use it?
 
 Thanks in advance

							Wayneswor,
Try burning your audio files onto a disc.  Open WMP, Rip your songs, plug-in your MP3 device and then sync.  I hope this helps.

							simple...go to preferences, advanced, import.  select mp3 from the drop down menu.  exit the preferences menu.  hi-lite the tracks you want converted to mp3, right-click, and select "convert selection to mp3."  that's it!
 if the songs are protected aac audio files, burn them to a cd, and then re-import them with iTunes as an mp3 or wave or whatever format is available in the same pull down menu i mentioned above.  i hope this helps!

							this thread should be closed.  i gave him the best way to convert his songs, which is within the iTunes interface.  he's already said it's worked out, so no more suggestions are needed.

 So, if that's the case, merely burn them to a CD.
