Does anybody know how to convert an M4P itunes file into a normal MP3?

In your iTunes settings, go to your import (or importing) tab and select .mp3 as the format.  Save your settings and find where the file you wish to convert is located in your library.  Right click and select convert as mp3.

Itunes will convert unprotected WMA files into either MP3 or AAC so you can then transfer them to an ipod.  Anything protected with DRM (digital rights Management) is not going to work.  At the worst case you could burn the songs to an audio CD and then re-read them into Itunes

I know how to do it in itunes but Im not on my computer right now.  Usually I go up top where it says, "File" or "Edit". Then browse around and you will see the selection : "Convert Selection to mp3"  \n\nIf it is not under "File" or "Edit" just browse around a lil bit more. It is there.  Make sure you have the song selected when you do convert it, however.

iTunes won't do it for you. You can try QuickTime Pro ($30) or the IMToo converter, which also costs a bit of money.... a free one online is Videora or something.

when you add the MP3 file (the itunes file won't work) it puts the speaker in the middle of the page.\n\nRight click on it and go to sound option ;)

You can use a free  wma to mp3 converter from\nhttp://www.brothersoft.com/mp3_audio/rippers_encoders/free_wma_to_mp3_converter_45252.html\n\nor NBX Audio converter from\nhttp://www.nbxaudio.com/download.htm\n\nEDIT.. just seen that the download from the 1st link is no longer available. However, NBX from the 2nd link is a good program.

In the first place: this is illegal. Real Media does not want their files to be saved and/or converted. \nNevertheless you can find some utilities that claim they can do it. None of them is free. \nTry a google search for "real to mp3".

There are plenty of programs out there, but sometimes (it sounds like you are dealing with WMA's) your music can be encrypted, usually WMA's and Apple's newly found M4A.\n\nIn an older version of iTunes, you could convert your songs to mp3, but the new version only converts them to aac, and besides, like Apple would read Microsoft's sound format. Pssh.\n\nYou could always find a sound card recorder, like MP3 My Mp3 recorder, but I couldn't get that one to work, and that takes a while.\n\nYou can always check download.com for free and demo programs on just about anything.

You can drag and drop it on to most MP3 players, like iTunes, and it will convert or prompt you to convert, depending on your settings.\nOr, if you use something that doesn't convert, you can download a decent audio converter from download.com.  Just serach for "WMA MP3 Converter" and pick something that looks like it will fit your need.  (Most will either be free or cost $15-20 to register after X days)

Oh yes!! You can just simply add it to a playlist from limewire, then transfer it to your iTunes software.  The iTunes will automatically recognize your files. Hope this helps!!

Use iTunes to import and then burn from your library.  You can choose what type of compression(if any) you want to use.  Another option would be to use Toast.
