Dad left his iTunes music shop thingy logged in, yay. But what on earth is an m4p file, and how do you convert that to ogg vorbis?

Meanwhile, I'm going off into Redesdale to look for Wild Goats. if I don't come back, you shall find my goat-knawed corpse somewhere between Catcleugh Reservoir and Chattlehope Spout.

m4p is a "protected" file, which itunes won't let you do Things to.

However, people like doing Things to their music, so Googling "m4p" brings up this handy-looking page (http://www.bpurcell.org/blog/index.cfm?mode=entry&entry=1036).

Any use?

excellent! I'm sure (once I sort my machine out and get it on the network) that will be very useful idneed - thankyou :)

why do you want to convert it to an Ogg? an M4p will already be compressed, so converting it again will make it sound even worse. Mind you, if you don't have anything that will play an m4p you may as well convert it to ogg if that's more useful.
