As the most popular online music store iTunes has millions of customers which download thousands of music every second.
M4P - a copyright protected iTunes format of "protected AAC". It is a format of downloaded music from iTunes store that can be listened to only through the iTunes compatible players like iPod.

So, if you want to listen to iTunes music with other mp3 players such as philips players, Zune, PSP, Creative Zen, cell phone and play itune music on xbox 360, PS3, windows media player, window movie maker or share them with your friends, you have to remove drm from itunes music and convert itunes music M4P to MP3 for philips players.

Solution 1: M4P->CD-> MP3
To convert M4P to MP3, you can burn M4P onto a CD (using the iTunes CD burning option), then re-import the CD as unprotected MP3 into the iTunes library.
1. Buy songs on iTunes.
2. Insert a blank CD. (You'd better use a rewrite CD which can be used circularly and use some software like Nero to wipe off the music files you have processed.)
Note: You need to change iTunes settings in "Edit"->" Preferences" before burn and import.
Follow the picture instructions below:





3. Go to File->Create a New Playlist



4. Drag and Drop files you want from your library to the New Playlist.
5. Right-click playlist and select "Burn Playlist to Disc" or you can left- click "Burn Disc"

(And you can find the unprotected MP3 file by the side of the original file in > "My Document" > "My music" > "iTunes".)

Basically, when you buy music from iTunes, it comes with a copyright protection called DRM. These DRM-protected songs are locked so that they only work with Apple MP3 players. That means that if you bought a Microsoft Zune, you cannot use iTunes music.

So, what is the solution? 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.

Alternatively, you can use TuneClone ( [url=http://www.tuneclone.com/]TuneClone - M4P to MP3 Converter - Convert M4P,WMA and Any Other Music Format to MP3 via virtual CD Burning[/url] ). TuneClone makes a virtual CD-ROM drive, tricking your PC into believing that you are burning a CD. Therefore, the DRM is removed without wasting a CD.

Here is a link to a tutorial using TuneClone and iTunes 8:
