Like most on this site I've got quite a collection of songs in iTunes. The other day I was trying to convert a standard .M4a file from iTunes to either a .wav or .aiff (apple loop) so that I can pull some audio samples.
I thought I could do it with my Quicktime Pro but can't find any options in the Save As. Also, tried iTunes itself with no luck. Even tried Apple Loop Utility but it won't load the M4a file. I use Logic Express 8 and Garageband and I would think that some how I should be able to do this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. |

Really? I thought children at their mothers' teat knew about ripping...
"Ripping" in this context refers to extracting data from one, fixed and un-editable format, to a more useful one. In this context, you can use iTunes to convert an audio CD to mp3, AAC, AIFF or WAV depending on the settings in iTunes > Preferences > Advanced > Importing. Another option is to use Toast (if you have it). Simply drag the contents of an audio CD into the audio panel of Toast, highlight the track(s) you need, and press the "Export" button. You can then choose a file format to suit. Best of luck! -------------------- www.myspace.com/commercialmusicstudios
