M4P File Format

M4P is the Protected AAC File. AAC is the audio layer from the follow-on format to MP3 (see .M4A extension). The .M4P extension is AAC purchased from Apple's Music Store and is protected by a Digital Rights Management scheme. MP4 files encrypted by FairPlay DRM as sold through Tunes Store use .m4p extension. M4P is for the DRM protected content in iTunes Store, while m4a is for the DRM-free, unprotected content.

iTunes Store sells billions of M4P songs every year, accounting for more than 80% of worldwide online digital music sales, most of the songs are in the format of m4p. And these m4p songs are limited by Apple on the usage. That's why so many m4p music owners are seeking solutions to free their purchased songs.

NoteBurner M4P Converter is Your Choice for Converting M4P Songs

"NoteBurner's simplicity makes it a joy to use and it does an excellent job of converting different audio formats, including DRM protected music. When compared to Tunebite 5 though, it does fall short on features. Tunebite 5 has a built-in CD burner, ringtone maker, streaming audio capture tool, more output audio formats, and can synchronize tracks with your MP3 player. That said, NoteBurner beats Tunebite 5 easily on speed when converting DRM protected files and so if you have a lot of DRM'ed downloads that you need to convert, then NoteBurner will save you a lot of time and is worth considering." ----TopTenREVIEWS Editor's Review

Built-in Player: NoteBurner M4P Converter has a basic built-in player that has the usual controls but sadly lacks the 'bells and whistles' to make it truly user-friendly. For instance, volume control, playlist shuffle, and fast-forward/reverse options are completely missing that puts it at a disadvantage when compared to other competing DRM removal tools like Tunebite 5. This lack of basic features makes the built-in player annoying when you can't skip through a particular song, or adjust the volume level after conversion.

Edit ID3 Tags: You can manually edit the ID3V1 and ID3V2 metadata if you need to which is a useful feature for organizing your music library.

Conversion Quality: The quality of the converted audio was tested using the different audio formats and all yielded good results.
