Hi, The best and the easiest way to do what you are after is to burn the playlist to a disk through itunes itself, and the others should be able to play the disk without issue anywhere at all. When Itunes burns the .m4p's to the disk it loses the drm and is playable where ever you are able to play disks normally. none of the other methods/ convertors as suggested in this thread are likely to work, accept for playing the audio and having it recorded through whatever recording software, but if your machine has a dvd/cd drive burning is the easiest quickest way to do what you are after, imo. hth, *** “The most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle.

I believe it can be done, but apple’s not gonna make it easy for you to convert the files to an open/accessible format like mp3. Those files are suppsoed to be protected. I’ve seen a couple of pages that show you ways to do this but they all involve some ridiculous steps that seem excessive/time-consuming/overly complicated. What I would do is either: simplyb urn an udio cd, if you can, or, maybe, play the songs througha nd use a programme to capture the output. Ou could do this with most any digital audio editor. You might lose some quality when converting to mp3, but should be fairly reasonable so long as you use a high bitrate like 320.

Hello Everyone, I have a quick question. I am making a Christmas compact disc to send to family and friends. I had a playlist in iTunes. Then I downloaded it on my PC. Now the files are in m4p files. I need to conver them into Mp3 to be able to burn the compact disc. Does anyone know of an easy program to do this? Thanks, Jeff Lukacsena
