Apple's M4P in Winamp

uv · 24 Mar 2009 at 14:21

Now I'm probably being incredibly noobish, but this is rather annoying..

I've bought a fair few albums from iTunes, and I'[ve always played them in Winamp. I prefer Winamp as a player, and consider iTunes to be incredibly bloaty - I only ever install it when I feel the need to grab an album.

So.. yeah. I bought an album, it downloaded in .M4P format, and winamp refused to see the files. Added the extension to the nullsoft plugin in winamp's preferences, and now Winamp can see the files - but still refuses to play them.

Do I need another plugin for winamp? Is there any free software that I can use to transcode the album to high-bitrate MP3?

Cheers

The Prodigy album I recently downloaded was - the Deadly Avengers album I downloaded the other day isn't

that doesn't help my current predicament

I want to listen to the music I've bought already!
