You can use TuneClone (http://www.tuneclone.com) to batch convert M4P to MP3 and then you can import the MP3 to BlackBerry. TuneClone uses a virtual cd burner for converting the music files. Compared with using real disc, it is faster. Moreover, this cute software can keep the artist , title and album information completely. It can even save the artwork s of the album. Great tools for iTunes users if you have more than hundreds M4P files need to be converted.

But will the new software hold your place in a podcast if you stop listening for a while?

I agree with Cedric…iTunes is the gold standard of digital music, regardless of what one thinks about it.

If you want to play in the digital music world you need to play nice with iTunes, period.

There is Apple, the iPhone, and iTunes and there is everything else.

Shenanigans! Not everyone uses iTunes! I stay away from it like the plague! Then again, I’m not the average consumer. I’m the one one who takes advantage of all the codecs the BlackBerry devices support. I’m part of the minority. LoL

Well, you can purchase music from itunes that’s DRM free, but here’s a reason I don’t purchase from Amazon.com or any other retailer.

It’s a good read and worth checking out if you’re in the habit of buying lots of music online.

What I don’t understand is why people would purchase mp3s still? AAC is a smaller file size and better quality. Anyway, the article above gives me ideas about why as well. Not written by me btw.

Why would anyone continue to purchase the majority of their music with DRM? There is lots of music available in mp3 format – without DRM – at Amazon.com and other places. Amazon’s downloader will even automatically add your new music to ITunes.

you could probably create an apple script to do this for you. The majority I have in my itunes library is from CDs that I have bought and ripped. I generally don’t buy music online unless it’s a single that I’m interested in. Otherwise, if I’m buying a full album, I’m getting the CD.
