A friend sent be about 14 songs over AIM the other day and they were all in .m4p format. My windows media player doesn't play .m4p and I don't think there is a version that does. So is there a way that i can change a .m4p file to an .mp3 file?

Look, when i have those kind of problems, i go to http://www.download.com and search for it...

for your case, we have Download.com Search Result for "m4p to mp3"

Usually i look for freeware... there u can find lots of it!!!!

If i'm not mistaken .m4p is the protected format that iTunes uses. Because of the DRM, .m4p files are not supposed to be converted, so the only way to play them is with iTunes or on an iPod or if you burn them to a CD as .wav files. If you are want to play your friend's iTunes Music Store songs on your computer, you will need to authorize your computer to play them.

Then you will have to put your friends iTunes Username and Password.

MP4 isn't a protected format of Apple. It was developed by the same group (MPEG - Motion Picture Experts Group). This is what urbandictionary says about MP4:

QUOTE

A newer compression codec better than mp3 which is over 10 years old. Mp4 can contain audio and/or video data. Music encoded in mp4 is a higher quality than mp3 because the mp4 codec loses less of the original source. Mp4's are also smaller than mp3's. Higher compression, better quality, smaller files: its amazing that no one has heard of mp4.

Urm, just a short note, M^E, he was talking about m4p, not mp4. m4p IS a protected format by iTunes, but mp4 is different, and belongs to the same family as mp3.

Funny how you mix up the letters you get different things altogether...
