Swindon rider Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 ive been on macintosh for the past year and ive been forced to get windows again for work now i have no idea what program you can use with these files?? i would prefer to use windows media player, i have the latest version 11 beta, is there a upgrade you can get to make it work with them? i'd rather not download lots of different programs like i tunes, real player, etc.cheersstualso: check out the for sale section for a sweet i-book laptop for sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haz Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 Unfortunately, both are iTunes only files. The *.m4a files can be converted to mp3 with an encoder from the web, but *.m4p can only be played on the computer to which they were purchased, i.e. your iBook.Converters are easily found on google.

maxxtro Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 m4a is mpeg4 audio and mp4 is mpeg4 video. mp4 is actually container format like avi that contains both audio and video stream. to play m4a files in Windows media player try with FFDshow. or if you listen i winamp download plugin Link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
