Anybody who knows anything about iTunes
I need some help from someone who knows. I own a regular MP3 player(Samsung). My wife owns an iPhone. She has alot of songs on her iTunes that I would like to have. Songs we've rightfully paid for. Anybody know how to convert those iTune files to a .wmv file or the like so I can load those songs onto my Samsung MP3 player. And no I'm not willing to simply buy an iPhone or iPod cause they don't have a radio and my MP3 player has a radio which I like.

Hi!
I think if you burn the itunes to a cd, you can then record the CD back as a regular music file and then listen to them on the other device.
Or, you can get music conversion software (some of whic is free) and use it to directly convert the songs. I would google your question re: the software conversion programs.
Good Luck!

The M4P music files you purchased from iTunes store is protected by DRM, they cannot not be played without iTunes, iPod, iPhone etc Apple's product. So you cannot NOT play them with SAMSUNG MP3 Player. You will need to do some work to convert the protected M4P music file to unprotected MP3, WAV etc first, then you can transfer and play the mp3 files with your SAMSUNG MP3 Player.
So, what is the solution?
Option 1.) As said earlier, you have to burn a CD. When you do this, the DRM is removed (because the music is converted to a non-DRM-compatible media). After you burn the CD, you can rip it to your PC as an MP3 file which no longer has DRM.
Option 2.) There are programs out there that can remove DRM by making your computer think is making a actual CD, when in reality it's making a "virtual ghost CD". Basically you are just saving yourself a CD and the time to make it. Maybe you can find a free program that does this (the ones I've seen cost money), but these types of programs are often sketchy to me. Maybe there are ones out there though with a good reputation?????? You'll have to just find em if they exist.
