Anyone know how to convert M4P (apple protected files) to MP3? There was program called jhymn that would remove the DRM, but it stopped working when apple came out with itunes 6.
ANYONE??
I have all these songs that are worthless now cause I've switched computers a few times.

yo fortified, you can burn all your m4a tracks to cd and then reimport them as mp3. takes a while and a work around but i've done it a few times. only way i have found the way around that damn thing.

lvl_13, yes thanks. It works and I've done that before. it's just that these were songs on my ipod, that I ripped back to a new computer, problem is, the songs are only allowed to be played on a certain number of devices. The new computer I got was one too many devices, and I dont have any of the old machines anymore.
Word to the wise, when you buy "songs" on itunes, you're not buying a song but rather a licence to play the song on a fixed number of devices.

you can get one of your machines "deauthorized" from apple. you just need to contact them to get a new "authorization" code

it's a bastard, isn't it? i just lost my hard disk and can't take any of my old m4a songs off my ipod.
i've got to change it at some point, i'm getting totally sick of them...
