I need to know a good program for this fairly quickly. A friend of mine brought me some music he needs to use for a class in M4A file type and he needs it burned to a disc to play in a CD player.

So far I haven't found anything. I would appreciate it as well if someone could make this happen, but apple is pretty darn secure with their computers.

Convert to MP3 -> Burn to CD Why the fuck would you want WMAs? ![[Image: caffsighl7.jpg]](http://img67.imageshack.us/img67/5918/caffsighl7.jpg) Â![[Image: 1184299259221.gif]](http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x284/CaffeinePower/1184299259221.gif) Sig by Joel |

I think you mean M4A->Wav if you're trying to get it to play on a standard CD player, otherwise it must at least support MP3, I've never heard of a CD player that only plays wma...

To give seebreeze the benefit of the doubt, maybe he needs wma conversion for compression?
That said, my usual default answer is Winamp, cause there is a plugin for everything. But, let's be honest people, isn't the most freely available, easiest to use, and free as in beer software to put an M4P or M4A onto a cd.........iTunes? |

Srsly, burn using itunes. Failing that, most CDrippers let you convert.Â
<+Karrde> welp, time to learn some basic patterning skills <@Negate> 12121212121212121212 <@Negate> there is a simple pattern <+Karrde> I changed my mind. Gonna cosplay as a gay demon from hell and get negate raped instead XD <+Caffeine`work> Karrde: Gay demon? Why would you need to cosplay just go as yourself <+FlyingMongoose> Caffeine`work: Karrde would actually have to tone it down some. |

Yar iTunes. Also I think there's an option to save the M4A files as some other better file type.

Just to necro this thread. It is NEVER a good idea to transcode from one lossy format to another if you care about the quality of the music... Lossy encoders always have audio quality loss (duh) no matter how good the bitrate is. If you transcode from one lossy format to another it will use the lossy version as the source and cut even more out of that... The only things you should ever encode to a lossy format are the original mediums (CDs, vinyl) and lossless formats. (WAV, FLAC, that apple format)

(WAV, FLAC, that apple format) Never encode a lossy format to a compressed lossless format. Reason being, you shouldn't be upcoding anyways. If you really need to, use WAV for whatever it is you're doing and delete it afterwards. Don't embarrass yourself one day by saying you have this pure sound and then playing back a pile of shit. DON'T LET IT HAPPEN TO YOU.
