I found a really convinent way to get rid of these files. When you buy music off Itunes Store it is in a MPEG-4(protected) file. Itunes uses this format to keep you from coverting, reproducing, or adding this file to your portable music player (not an Ipod), or even a different music player other than Itunes. So how do you get rid of it?
You want it in a MP3 or a MPEG-1 Layer 3 music file (this file is easy and convinent to use with any music program). Follow these steps.
1. Open Itunes and select
Edit and then select
Preferences.
2. Click on the
Advanced tab on the top of the preferences screen. Now click
Importing and there you should see a
Import Using and select
MP3 Encoder.
3. Make sure steps 1&2 or correct or this will be a waste of a CD. Now create a new playlist using the + sign under the now playing (this isn't the only way). Now take most or all your songs bought of Itunes music store and add them to the playlist. Burn the playlist on to the CD.
4. Once the CD is done burning re-add the songs to your music library. If you want to keep your artwork for the song copy the old AAC files artwork and paste it on your new MP3 file. You now can delete your AAC while keeping your new MP3.
I was reading through to make sure if anyone posted this problem so Vanillthrilla you posted this 2 years ago in
