I am just getting into purchasing music from iTunes. I have downloaded an album and transferred the files to a folder on my SD card, but I cannot get them to play because they are apparently in an unrecognised format (M4P). I cannot open them directly with TCPMP and I cannot work out how to access SD files from within Windows Media; I cannot seem to navigate beyond "Library."

Can someone help me out please?

Thanks,

Itunes purchases will not work with a windows mobile device until apple supports the pocket pc. MSN music purchases work fine.

Way around it: Burn a CD (or use a CD-RW so you can reuse it). Then rip the files to whatever format you like: mp3, wma, whatever.

You WILL lose some sound quality, but I have tried to hear the difference and I can't hear much of a difference at all (but that may be the poor quality of my laptop speakers).

Thanks for that. I just did the burn thing and ripped to MP3. But I must now check out MSN.

Wal Mart has cheap downloads at $0.88 a piece. I've download several songs and albums. I'm still required to use WMP because of the DRM.

I think the prob is DRM. If you dl and install the AAC plugin for TCPMP it plays mp4. Burning and ripping the CD (to any format) is a way around DRM.

allofmp3.com is in a grey area of licensing. They are making a killing but I don't know that the artists get anything. There is pressure to take them down (there was an article about them on CNN.com a couple weeks ago) but being based in Russia there is not a whole lot that can be done.

Having said that, what anyone does is truly none of my business...
