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.

in quicktime pro you would use Export..... not Save as...
I just tried it. I opened an mp4 and exported it as "Sound to wav". I hope this helps. -------------------- |

.m4a is fairly specific to apple and itunes; so you should be able to open them in almost any apple software that deals with audio so-long as you have the codec installed, presumably you could even open it up in video editing packages like Final Cut Pro or Adobe premiere and export it as whatever file type you like, as long as its a format supported by quicktime's audio layer. eg. .wav .aiff .mp3 .mov ... .... and many many more.
