itunes downloadsPosted by Chuck
Yea i have never known itunes to be anything but m4p. You could burn them to an audio cd and then reimport them as mp3's but that's not exactly legal i just learned from derekmok and wayne Granzin in another thread.
here is the thread it is pretty interesting [www.lafcpug.org] Good Luck, Sean
Another workaround, which was mentioned at the last FCP meeting is to import the songs into imovie, then export/drag them back to the desktop. Once brought into imovie, Apple's dopey copyguard is removed and you can burn away...Just as if you bought it at Tower!
It may not be legal or moral in some peoples eyes...However, you did pay for the song and it's better then COMPLETELY ripping it off from Limewire. Babysteps folks! SG
Sorry Shane, but i don't know what kind of project Chuck is doing (personal public etc...) it's really none of my business and i really could care less, but assuming he is using it for a personal project (because i hope he is smart enough not to use it for a project to make money on "most" people are) i have no problem giving him instructions i personally have no problem using music for personal projects i have in the past (keep in mind i am only 20 and i don't own a FCP system YET but i have done editing with windows movie maker just editing some stuff me and my friends have filmed, yes i know WMM is crap but it's what i have at the moment).
On a different note if he said "hey i need to get some music off a cd that i bought to put in a project that i'm gonna sell can any one help me?" i wouldn't tell him how to do it. Sean

Thanks for passing on the tip, Schlomo. Does anybody else find it amusing that iMovie is able to get past the m4v protection? I suppose Apple wanted to make it possible for consumers cutting home movies to use iTunes downloads, which they invariably will, but didn't want to make that feature available in Final Cut. Still, wish I'd known this trick back when I was cutting something for a certain music company that was too lazy to provide me with a CD copy of their artist's #1 hit...that was the first time I ran up against the m4v protection.

" i don't know what kind of project Chuck is doing (personal public etc...) it's really none of my business and i really could care less" Thats true it's none of my business. "Projects they earn a buck for...problem." I'm exactly the same but it's not my business to "monitor" him and ask what the project is. Thanks, Sean
