Unprotect MPEG4 file

I think SoundTaxi Professional is the best alternative,It help you remove DRM from protected sound that purchase from iTunes, Microsoft Media Center, Napster, Pandora, Spiral Frog and other DRM protected media center lawfully.

SoundTaxi Professional Key Attributes

SoundTaxi Professional supports nearly all audio document formats (with or without DRM protection). Creates and including WMA, M4P, AAC, MP4, MP3, etc unguarded WAV, MP3, AAC (MPEG4 sound) employee communications without DRM.

Input files supported: (both protected rather than protected)
wma, m4p, aac, wmv, m4v, avi, music, wav, ogg, rax, ra, aa, mp4, snd, aif, audio guides,
any format Media Player supports. And can unprotect protected songs from iTunes, Napster,Yahoo Songs, MSNMusic and more.

the music you put on the player is not supported, this unit only supports MP3 or unprotected Windows Media Audio files. You can check this by right clicking the song > properties > Type of File : (make sure mp3 or unprotected WMA), if its WMA, make sure there is no license tab. My guess is your using ITUNES.. you would need to convert to MP3.

Only MP3 and unprotected WMA files re supported. If you upload copy protected WMA files or any of the iTunes AAC formated songs, they will not play. All purchases from the iTunes store have to be converted to MP3 before they can be played on this player.

Also, some older MP3 players will not be able to play MP3 audio encoded at high bitrates.

The new SanDisk e260 designed to work seamlessly with a wide range of popular music formats such as MP3 and Windows Media Audio (WMA) in both unprotected and protected files (such as those WMA files purchased from music stores). It also supports the newest music subscription services found at Rhapsody to Go and others

Music Playback Formats: MP3, WAV, WMA

Photo formats: BMP, JPEG, TIFF, GIF

Video Formats: AVI, MPEG4, WMV, QuickTime, MPEG2, ASF

You can go to this website and download a free format converter.

Good Luck, I hope this helps

Some (most) WMA and AAC files are protected and some are unprotected - you cannot "unprotect" them, except by downloading illegal-to-use software such as Tunebite.

To avoid a future recurrence of this problem, only load songs that are in mp3 format onto your player. They are all unprotected.

-Tha Mp3 Doctor

It is my understanding that downloaded iTunes music only works with iPod products. However, you can create your iTunes music into MP3 format in your iTunes library. Your MP3 player should come with the software needed or tell you which application to use (ex. Windows Media Player). After you've created an MP3 version you can import/export into the proper media application then sync to your MP3 player.

Info I found on the web about your MP3 player:

Compatible Formats
The player supports MPEG4 video files and audio files saved in MP3, secure and unsecured WMA, WAV, Audible, and Overdrive file formats.

Simply connect the player to a PC, and start dragging files from your Windows Media Player 10 or 11 applications.

iTunes is not compatible with an ILo player - sorry
The iLo only recognizes mp3, wma, not AAC

You will need to run those songs through an mp3 converter to get rid of the protected status, or purchase a premium subscription to your music service (the basic subscription will not be enough).

And, no this player is definitely NOT compatible with iTunes.The Sansa e200 enables users to play MP3, WAV, WMA, secure WMA, and audible files. iTunes are AAC format - not recognized by this player.

First off...I'm sorry. This isn't going to be super-simple or automated.

The Insignia MP3 players play MP3 and WMA audio files only (okay...and audio books). If you have a pretty nice collection of unprotected music files that you have purchased from iTunes, then you'll be able to do this conversion.

The Insignia player will not sync with iTunes...the program and the player are not compatable. You do not need to use Windows Media Player to load music on your Insignia player.

Here's the process:

Set your Insignia player to Mass Storage or "File & Folder". This makes it look like another drive to the computer.

Open iTunes.

Navigate to the Options or Preferences area (it's different depending on whether you use a Mac or a PC), select the BURN tab and set the file format to MP3 and the quality rating you desire (I suggest either 128kb or 192kb).

Select the songs you want to put on your player.

Tell iTunes to "Conver to MP3" the songs you have selected.

Once these files are copied as MP3s, Navigate to the iTunes folder (should be in My Documents/My Music/iTunes). I reccommend placing a shortcut to your iTunes folder on your desktop for future use.

Drag and Drop your music files to your Insignia player.

You're good to go. Unplug the Insignia player and enjoy!

tell ya what:

use iTunes or WMP to rip the songs of your cd.
load these ripped songs onto ur player..

Warning:
WMP generates WMA files while iTunes generates AAC files by default
iTunes can be customized to produce mp3 files instead
