How to convert M4P to M4A?


"I have about a 1000 songs in my iTunes library that are formatted .m4p. I want to convert them to .m4a. What procedures/tools are available to accomplish this process?" - Do you have the same confusion?

M4P is an iTunes Audio format. M4P files are seen when downloading music from Apple Music and iTunes Store(before 2009). Similar to this format is M4A, which is also an iTunes Audio file, but one that isn't copy protected.

How to Open an M4P File

M4P files can be opened with Apple's iTunes . However, the computer you're using iTunes on must be authorized in order to play the M4P file, which is done by logging into iTunes under the same account that was used to download the audio file.

How to Convert an M4P File

Ordinary online and music converter apps can't convert M4P files due to the DRM protection. To convert M4P to M4A, you will need a professional DRM music converter . Here we will recommend Ondesoft iTunes Converter . It is a specific iTunes audio converter that allows you to convert any iTunes songs, audiobooks and Apple Music songs to mp3 on Mac or Windows.
