M4P Converter

An M4P converter allows the owner of protected audio files such as those purchased from Apples' iTunes to either remove the DRM protection from the file or convert the file into a variety of other audio formats such as MP3 or WAV. These formats can then be used for creating audio CDs or opened for listening by other media players or devices.

There are mainly two methods used by M4P Converters. The first method is to burn a copy to an audio CD and then rip/encode it. Some M4P Converter software takes an even smarter method which allows user to burn music to a Virtual CD-RW disc and then automatically rip/encode the music stored on the Virtual CD-R. This makes the whole conversion process automatic and faster.
