Thanks, but I know that now after the failure of my first attempt. But I also asked "what can I do now to accomplish this conversion?" I know others are doing it and I'd like to also. I'm not referring to using SWITCH to do the conversion, I heard there's a way to accomplish this with a WinXP program. Thanks for your help, Don

I appreciate all the replys, but am completely confused by the comments on Flash. Does Flash really get involved with SWITCH showing that it "may not be supported". When I try the result is a big X and the statement, "the file could not be opened." Hmmm...yet when I send it to Real Player it plays. This is really getting to be confuzin' and not very amuzin'

Thanks for the reply, but I wonder what Flash has to do with Switch. As for samples all I could really do is to show the file name of the file that worked: Brian Freeman - Track 21.m4pa that became Brian Freeman - Track21.mp3. I can't show the other because SWITCH showed it couldn't be done; and that's the point of my question. As for the SWITCH version, I just installed it Tuesday, Version 1.12; I just checked and it is the latest. it is supposed to include the Advanced feature. Flash is V 7.0.19.0 which I see is old. I'll get a later version and see what happens.

Yes, I'm a newbie, and boy do I need help. I just used Switch to comvert some audio book tracks (m4a) to mp3 and it worked as hoped. I understand that audiobooks are copy protected yet converted with no problem. Then I tried to convert some audio that I downloaded from iTunes Store (m4p) but was unable to; "not allowed" or something of that nature. I don't understand the difference in protecting audiobook tracks and song tracks. When I bought I thought SWITCH would convert anything to a usable format. Is there any hope I didn't waste my money on SWITCH? If so what can I use to make the desired conversions? Thanks for any help on this frustration...
