Ok, on my compy, my Windows Movie Maker will not let me use my iTunes files. Can anyone help me?

You mean mp3s downloaded off it? I don't use iTunes.

If it's audio, there's the possibility it's got some copy protect stuff on it...

i don't know how you can do it with itunes, but if you have window media player then i can help.

Itunes doesn't use mp3s. MP3 has zero DRM [Digtal Rights Management] features, otherwise people will copy and distribute the files left and right. mp4 has that abiltiy. But anyway, itune's DRM will only work with itunes(officially), realplayer has managed to get the itune files to play on theirs, but apple is suing, they want it all in one pod, literally.

You can burn a MP3 disk and then rip it, but mp3 isn't lossless so you'll so alot of quality. Instead burn with a lossless format and then rip it back, no quality loss (as long as you burned it with the maximum quality).

If you have a creative sound blaster card I know you can record audio from like iTunes or even streaming media from a port called "What U Hear" using their program 'Creative Recorder'

This will dump a WAV file of the song you just heard in some directory and then you can convert that back to an mp3, clean of copy protection.

Or you could just burn the songs to CD, and then rip them off again using a program such as CDEX.

If you're going to record from what you're playing, try that. I've used it to get audio from formats like flv that didn't want me getting the audio out of 'em.

ok, thanx Tilly.

So I can only use MP3s that I have downloaded from like, limewire or something?

nevermind on that, and Tilly, this recorder is free right?

No.

WMM supports a wide variety of formats including but not limited to WMV, wav, etc.
