445620 2006-04-10 23:08:00 Just hoping someone might be able to direct me to a website that has free (and reputable) software for converting M4A audio files into MP3 file format.

Cheers,

445621 2006-04-10 23:38:00 This ( . imtoo . com/audio-encoder . html" target="_blank">www . imtoo . com) may do it .

BUT, I don't think its free . It maybe free for 30 days, or something, until you register / buy it .

445624 2006-04-11 05:49:00 Why would you want to do that? MPEG4 audio is better than MP3 audio... maccrazy (6741)

Might have an audio player that only plays MP3s.

Yep, Cyabro is right - I just want to convert some of my girlfriends itunes into MP3 format to copy onto CD for playing back in my car stereo that only does MP3, WMA, and WMA files .

I downloaded Speedy Gonzales suggestion but the free version didnt do the job so I will try others that have been suggested .

Cheers for the help :)

445627 2006-04-11 22:53:00 I downloaded the Dbpoweramp which did the trick, however, I want to know why the MP3 format it can convert to is called "lame" is it because it sucks? :dogeye: or is that just it's name? Johnnz (7246)

I have got DBPoweramp and it has done EVERYTHING I have ever wanted, as for the lame codec, it stands for Lame Aint an Mp3 Encoder as shown by this page (lame.sourceforge.net)

445629 2006-04-12 05:15:00 If the audio was purchased from iTunes Music Store, then, you probably can't convert it to any other format because of the DRM, the only way is to probably record the wave out mix audio. yzhu (9783)
