AUDIO FILES - m4p format

Colligan · Post by **Colligan** » Mon Aug 28, 2006 9:23 pm

I was wondering if any of you have had the following problem. I have been adding audio files to my slideshows (mp3 format) which I purchased from iTunes some time ago, without any problems. I have recently downloaded some tracks from iTunes and have tried to use some of these tracks on my slideshows. These new tracks are m4p format. When I try to open these tracks the following message comes up "unable to open file .........."name of song".m4p. File format mismatch". Has anyone had the same problem and if so could you please advise me what to do. Your help would be very much appreciated![/b]

Try converting them beforehand to WAV format.
There are plenty of FREE converters available just google for them.

Just to say thank you for pointing me in the right direction. I found out that apparently m4p is an Apple format specifically for iTunes and had to look for one especially for that format. In the meantime I managed to get round the problem as I burnt these tracks on CD and managed to get them on my slide show in this way. Anyway once again thank you!
