RayDorman Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Yes, easiest way I've found is to create an mp3 version (if it's not already) of the track you wish to use. (Advanced->Create mp3 version)Then, drag this track wherever you store you LOR audio and point your sequence to that file.You may find this useful:bob wrote:LOR uses Windows Media Player to play media files. I have never tried 5.1, and I don't really know much about it, but with one minor exception, mentioned below, any filtering or "folding down" that occurs will occur due to WMP, or possibly your sound card, not due to LOR.The following file types are supported (though not all of them will work with the Beat Wizard, the VU Wizard, the MIDI Wizard, nonstandard playback speeds, or the waveform display, and video files will only display video with license levels higher than "Basic"):AIF*.aif*.aifc*.aiff[*]AVI*.aviMIDI*.mid*.midi*.rmi[*]MPEG Audio*.mp2*.mp3*.mpaMPEG Video*.mpe*.mpeg*.mpg*.m1v[*]Sound*.au*.sndWAV*.wav[*]Windows Media Audio*.wmaWindows Media Video*.asf*.wm*.wmv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To convert tracks saved under this restriction, the music will need to be ripped to CD and then converted by iTunes.but looks like still doable...

tguidry1 Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 yea that was my next move was to just put all the songs on a cd and then put them back on itunes in an mp3 format Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I just record the DRM file to another file using a music editor, then I save(export) the recorded song in any format I wish. I got around that P.I.T.A. issue a long time ago when they tried making it difficult to rip CD's to your computer. Where THERE IS A WILL, THERE IS ALWAYS A WAY! And if there's a way around somethings, I can usually find it and get 'r done! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimswinder Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 actually, Audacity can covert MP4 also...and it's a free download:http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/beta_windowsand you also need lame:http://audacity.sourceforge.net/help/faq?s=install&item=lame-mp3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njwatkins1 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Actually there is a much much simpler way. When you have the file from the iTunes store that you want to use, just change your settings to rip CD's in iTunes from AAC to WAV. Then right click on the song and select create WAV version. WAV files have no DRM or protection otherwise and they seem to work better with sequencing in LOR anyway. If you are worried about the file size with WAV, simply open the WAV in Audacity or Cool Edit Pro (Adobe Audition (This is what I use for all audio editing)) and convert to mp3.
