fred flintstone Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 When I run switch to convert an aac file to an m4a file I get a cryptic message that the conversion failed and to check the forums. I installed aacenc and aacdec and it still happens? What's the deal with the useless error messages? Thanks Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nchtj Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 if you're trying to convert an iTunes aac file you're out of luck, Apple copy protect those files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred flintstone Posted October 24, 2006 Author Share Posted October 24, 2006 if you're trying to convert an iTunes aac file you're out of luck, Apple copy protect those files. Thanks for your help. These are aac files that have been ripped from the winamp plugin called streamripper. These are aac files in the clear and nothing protected. I just want them to be used in itunes without converting them to wav and then back to m4a (in itunes). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fred flintstone Posted October 29, 2006 Author Share Posted October 29, 2006 Thanks, your sample file works. The site is streaming aac+ I guess that is not supported.I have found other software that will convert it to wav anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
