Guest guest Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 I have downloaded a song from ITunes but it looks like LOR doesnt recognize the format. It's mpeg4. How do I open the file in LOR.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Will windows media player play it? If so, you can probably get it to work by typing the complete file name, including extension in the box (ie: myfile.mp4). If Windows media player won't play it, then it's not going to work with LOR.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 iTunes and Windows Media Player don't really play well together. You will have to find a way to convert the downloaded song into a format WMP will play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 iTunes uses a protected AAC audio format for their downloads. Try this work-around:Create a playlist in iTunes of the music you downloaded.Burn an audio CD of that music.Re-import the music in mp3 or another format that LOR recognizes.Try the new file.Remember that you now have two copies of the same tune. One in the old protected format and one in the new unproteced format. Be sure to use the right one. It's not elegant, but I think it should work.DefDF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Thanks all. It worked perfectly. The only change is at the end I had to add file instead of import. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 You may want to rip it to a WAV file. I'm not sure what effects compressing it twice (once as mp4 and again as mp3) would have on sound quality, by I imagine it would take a hit.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Some of the I tunes are write protected - you can not convert them to MP3 or burn to a CD. I found a program by Tunebite that will convert the Itune to a OGG or MP3. Sometimes the LOL program will not read it or it will act strange (I had a couple of songs that would not stop playing). So, I used Audacity to convert from OGG to MP3 and it worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
