    I figure it is a built in thing, so if I can just get a separate program to do it, then all is good.

    nice...well from the mac forums we get...

    "...If they're protected you have to burn them to an audio CD and then rip them as mp3. I don't know of any other way..."

    and dont forget...

    "...you're tinkering with a file that's already compressed and you'll lose some sound quality..."

    try here for maybe an app and codec that will do this better...maybe...

    It won't let me burn an Audio CD either... Nero says it doesn't recognize the format, that site you gave me doesn't seem to support teh file I haveeither.

    M4b??? I see M4a and stuff... wtf...

    It's a two-step process, but you can use a program called ra2wav (RealAudio To Wav) to convert .ra and .ram files to .wav files, which can then be converted to .mp3 files by most mp3 ripping software.

    Works on most (not all) .ra files. :wave:

    EDIT: I noticed that the link I provided is to an older version (1998). Searching around for ra2wav might find you a newer one. RealAudio sued to have the converter declared illegal, so you might have to really hunt for it. I guess they're so proud of their "quality" spyware. Er, I mean "program".

    hymn is a CLI. if you're doing this on windows, get the .zip file.

    iOpener is a GUI that works with iTunes.

    pick your poison. I've had some songs that wouldn't work with hymn, but would with iOpener, and some the other way around.

    I think this only works for m4p files, i got an error with hymn and iopener said it didn't find anything to open.
