I just bought the "Hives - Fever" and need to use it in a project I'm doing. Does anyone know of a way I can strip the security settings on the song? The only whay I know of is to burn the song to a disk and then rip it again but I will be going through CDs like no other if that's what I have to do. What I need is a downloadable program that converts the music. Thanks.

what platform are you on?
essentially, you want to take that .mp3 and either use it in Flash itself or convert it to .wav, etc.
you can also convert .cda to .mp3 and .wav easily enough

All of their music is ACC encoded.

ahhhhh, I see you need to import that into something like Sony Sound Forge at http://www.soundforge.com and then re-export to the correct format, preferrably .wav. It's like formatting text in textpad.

did you download it already? i know that for older versions of itunes, there's a plug-in soeeone wrote that strips the copy-protection as you download the file.
if you downloaded already, then the easiest way to convert that .m4p file to .mp3 would be to burn it as a cd and rip it again. cd's cost nothing. just do it.

JazX, that won't work as it is copy protected.
Burn the AAC to a Cd and rip it back to PC works, best to use a re-writeable Cd.

You can strip it out with Sound Forge I believe.

"Audio Hijack Pro" will work, http://www.rogueamoeba.com/audio…

and do not forget to pay the royalties and/or credit Hives for the music.
that is THE reason why iTunes was forced to put such a complex encoding on the music by RIAA.
