M4P files converter

[General]

I make lots of video montages with the pictures my kids take. Everything is
very simple using PS3 and MM2 except for adding the music. We get all of our
music from iTunes which, of course, comes with DRM on an M4P file. I have
been wasting CD-Rs burning then ripping the songs to WMA. Does anybody have
a better way to do this? I am not asking to do anything illegal as I am not
selling the music or giving it to other people. It is music I bought and
want to continue using for myself - just not in iTunes or on my iPod or
anything else that starts with a lower case "i".

A co-worker suggested buying TuneClone to convert any audio file and to
remove DRM. Anybody ever hear of it or use it?

===================================
Maybe you could burn to a re-writable CD-RW.....
after you rip it you could use it again.

Have a look at the following article:

(look at the right column under PapaJohn Comments)

And...a google search turned up the following
links...maybe they are worth a look:

John,
I tried PJ's way but I get a message in MM that I do not have a device
connected to my pc. If I am capturing the audio from my own pc there would
be no device to connect. I have been using a device from Pinnacle to connect
my video camera to then it connects to my USB port. Do I have to connect it
the essentially ignore?

Sorry...but I don't know what to tell you...PJ's tutorial
works on my system.

Did you read the part about selecting Stereo Mix?
