.MP4 to .MP3 for Nomad Jukebox zen Extra?

[dave computer]

I have a nomad jukebox zen extra and want to put some music files that i downloaded off iTunes on it. However the files are in .mp4 type. Is their a way i can change them to .mp3 so i can put them on my mp3 player?

Burn them to a CD with itunes, then re-encode them as mp3. There are other ways but you'd need a Mac.

try this prog http://www.litexmedia.com/wma_workshop/

or this one http://www.newfreeware.com/graphics/130/

Unfortunately neither of those programs will work as the do not support the open AAC standard that itunes songs are encoded in, plus itms songs include DRM to prevent such a thing. The only way do do it without violating the law is to burn them to CD and then re-import/encode them in the desired format.

dBpowerAMP (http://www.dbpoweramp.com/dmc.htm) converter will convert from MP4(AAC) to MP3 (and any other format plugins are installed for - and it's free)

[Mac Medic]

But it will not convert a protected AAC purchased from the itms. The only way to do it without hacking the DRM is the way i specified above.

Yeah i had the same problem with a cd i bought from iTunes. burn them to a cd and use the cd to change them over to your mp3 player
