iTunes Music Conversion
Bah, i've had it with iTunes and all this stupid DRM stuff
I've been trying to get some DJ software to make some nice home mixes, but I can't find any that works with Apple's stupid DRM. I've always believed legal is the best way, and i've spent over £800 in the iTunes store. Now i'm pretty pissed that all the decent DJ software won't work with Apple's DRM.
So, i've downloaded a program called Noteburner. It's a virtual CD burner that automatically strips out the DRM from my iTunes music and converts it to standard MP3 format at the same time. By doing this I can now buy virtually any DJ software
However, I have a question... I will be converting my iTunes store purchases which are in M4P format (or possibly AAC) I think. On the Noteburner software I have various bit rates for saving in MP3, such as, 128, 160, 192, 224, 256, 320 etc. Obviously there's no point in encoding my MP3's at a higher rate than the original Apple format, so what is the optimum bit rate for conversion? Anyone ?
It's really stupid, i've tried to stay legal and have never been bothered about converting my music, but this DRM is just completely stopping me doing what I want to do, and what I want to do is perfectly legal as I purchsed the music fair and square.
Anyway, I hope someone can help me with my question , also does anyone have an opinion as to what's the best DJ software available?
Cheers
Jem
