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.

Jim Hoyland, Yep, I checked... You're from the UK... Also, I know the definition of "teat" but usually say "tit'. I know "Teat" is more sophisticated but who wants a "Teat"? Them thangs on Pamela Anderson sure ain't called a "Teat" except in Sunny Old England.

Yep i'm from australia and we use the word 'ripping', but I don't think its really slang; perhaps more of a technical term. First time I heard it would've been back in 1989' or 1990 while working in a graphic pre-press firm designing on macintosh it was in relation to spooling a large postscript file to disk for the printer, so it probably translates to roughly that.... converting something to a hard disk file from some other medium. Don't think it's an Aussie or Pommie thing at all, just a fairly specific term. although I may be wrong of course. it has certainly entered the popular vernacular here in Australia; id be surprised if it wasn't in the dictionary by now. ;-). So I don't know whether thats cleared anthing up guys, but I just couldn't resist. unsure.gif

Oh and jim. you guys don't really call them 'teats' do you? blink.gif
