Convert M4P to MP3 on Windows and Mac -

M4P processes is an audio file format used and created specifically for iTunes. If you want to use this type of file outside of iTunes software, it is important to follow the following file management tips and tricks.

  1. To make the M4P file playable on other devices it is essential to convert it to an MP3 file first. The MP3 format is considered to be the “universal” audio format.
  2. M4P files are usually files protected by DRM. If you want to play or transfer this type of file to another software or device, you must first remove the DRM protection. In this article we will see the best programs to do this.
  3. M4P is not recognized by a Windows computer. If you're planning to use it on a Windows PC or other Windows-based mobile device, conversion is a must.
  4. If you don't want to convert the M4P file, but want to make it playable on a Windows PC, you need to install third party software that supports this format.
  5. The M4P audio format can be processed and played by almost all versions of QuickTime Media Player. Mac owners should therefore have no problem playing M4P audio files.
  6. Be careful not to confuse M4P with MP4: M4P is an audio format; instead the MP4 is a video file format. Furthermore, MP4 is a standard format while M4P is regarded as a "special" audio format.

Below we see how to convert M4P to MP3 on both Windows and Mac OS X.

Hello,

I tried the trial, but it doesn't accept m4p formats downloaded with Apple Music ... I don't know ...

Thank you

  • it doesn't work for me either, it doesn't accept the m4p file
