Itunes issue i'm trying to listen to music i've purchased on itunes, but it appears to have downloaded as a protected ACC file (whatever that is) and cannot be converted to an mp3 file... any thoughts? i've only purchased a few songs on itunes and obviously don't want to purchase any more if I can play them on my ibulldog. thanks for any help!

iTunes songs have DRM protection, you have to remove the DRM first. This DRM converter will help you do that.

Hope it helps. You can email me for further help.

iTunes song have DRM protection, you have to remove DRM from iTunes and convert M4a to MP3.

MP3 players will not play any iTunes music because they are not compatible with the file format. iTunes uses a modified ACC file and the only players that will play them are apple products.

ITunes will not allow you to burn purchased songs to CD/DVD, use a different program--but convert them to another format first--everything can be found for free on the internet.

I believe iTunes may not like to sync with not apple players, but I am sure DRM protection is to blame here. You can try to sync your music with the software provided by Zen, or a program called MediaMonkey, to see if it works.
Otherwise, if the music is DRM protected .mp4, you can always burn the songs into a standard AUDIO CD, and then rip the music back to your computer, that way it loses the DRM protection, and should be easy to sync without problems.

The songs that you are playing are either in AAC (iTunes) format - which is not supported by the player - or they are DRM-encrypted. If you really do have an SA6045, the player can definitely handle DRM encrypted-WMA's. If you have a newer Philips - different model # - then the player may not support DRM-encrypted files. The best thing to do is to download songs (or convert songs from CD as the other helper suggested) that are in pure mp3 format. Examples of services that do this are Rhapsody's Mp3-only Subscription (other Rhapsody subscriptions are DRM-encrypted, which will not work); or Limewire (make sure the format you are downloading is mp3 and not something else).
