.m4p to .mp3?

hi,

Im about to run a shoutcast server for some friends to listen to but I have some songs that I got off itunes music store that I want to play but winamp can't play them, is there some program I can use to convert it? I tried dbpoweramp but it says I dont have the right codec, I went to the site and downloaded a few codecs but still doesn't work..any ideas?

.m4p to .mp3?

What you are planning on doing is probably illegal. In the Unites States, attempting to cirumvent a system like the DRM on the iTunes songs is illegal. Even if doing so is not illegal in your area, broadcasting them with shoutcast almost certainly is.

Doing what you want to do would entail bypassing the DRM on the iTunes songs then transcoding to MP3 (with a loss of quality).
