How to use NoteBurner M4P to MP3 Converter for Mac OS X

With a Virtual CD-RW drive installed in your computer, you can easily get your DRM protected music or audio files converted to plain MP3 or AAC files.
1. Choose Output Format and Output Path in NoteBurner for Mac
Go to top-left NoteBurner > Preferences…, a window will appear as below:
From here, you can select the Output Path where the converted audio files will be located at, and the desired output format between MP3 and AAC, and Encoding Quality. If you want the Update reminding message as well, check the option of “Check Updates on Startup”.
2. Select NoteBurner for Mac as Your CD Burner in iTunes
Run iTunes and go to Preferences > Advanced > Burning, then click to select “NoteBurn Virtual CD-RW” as the CD burner, and please also check Audio CD and Include CD Text which will enable the converted music to carry relevant information, such as title and artist of music. Then click OK to return to the main screen of iTunes.

After you add all music and audiobooks to the playlist you created, go to that playlist, and click the Burn Disc button at the bottom right of iTunes to start the burning. You may need to wait for a moment to let the iTunes and NoteBurner for Mac start working. If you don't want it to continue, just click “x” to stop burning.
