Thanks to all who responded. That JHymn program did it for me, it also filled out the ID3 tag if there was information in the m4a file. |

Winamp Disk Write doesn't play it in real time, but as fast as your computer can decode the audio (usually only a few seconds in these days of computing).
But... I know of JHymn... works well, mainly intended to remove DRM from iTunes files, but it can double as a converter to MP3. |

so, i have to actually play the files? that's going to be a 4-5 hour process considering the number of m4a files I have... |

Before I had iTunes, I had to figure out how to do this. Winamp 5. Play the M4A files using the Disk Writer output, encode those to MP3's. |

anyone know an free/open source software that will do this? Do not give comments about why not to do the conversion from m4a to MP3... I just want to know if there is a free solution instead of trying to use shareware solutions. |
