Playing Itunes downloaded songs

The way cell phone technology keeps expanding Apple should think of releasing a version of itunes to work with windows mobile. That way we can play mp4 on our phones.

I have a huge library of music now that I can only play with my ipod.

Or is their a way to get the htc pro to play mp4's?

can you play the protected media with this program?

The way I see it is if I bought the song already I should be able to use the song on anything I own.

I did a Google search for just this reason. I hate buying iTunes music, and having to use an iPod to play it. If I bought the song legally, I should be able to use whatever format I want to play it. The Google search I did was 'mp4 mp3 converter' and I found this neat little program called mp4 to mp3 converter. I have it on my Desktop (which is down at the moment) so I can't get the exact information for it, but it cost about $30.00 1 time fee, and it works great! Whenever I buy music from iTunes, I always convert it immediately to an mp3 format. Love it! When my computer is up again, I will continue this post and add the cab, but it wont work unless you pay for the license. Good Luck!

Interesting, why hasnt apple come out with a free version. I hate paying for 3rd party software. Plus 38 dollars is a bit steep.

Anyone know another alternative?

Thanks for the info.

Neither of those apps will support protected M4P files, which is likely what the OP is looking for.

Dont plan on playing an itunes protected song through anything other than itunes or an iphone/ipod.

However, there are certain steps you can take to strip the DRM from those songs, and do whatever you want with what you legal own. That, or just download the songs you legally own a license for somewhere else.

DOWN WITH DRM!
