Converting iTunes music to Zune compatible

[baseballbert]

Is there a program that does this? I've got software that I can use to get DVD's on my iPad (WHOA THERE! It'll be replaced when there's a Windows tablet!), but I want to get all of music on the phone.

You mean like m4a -> mp3?

Exactly!

dBpoweramp should do the trick, pretty sure they have a trial version.

The Zune software and WP7 support the AAC files that iTunes uses. Not a good idea to convert from a lossy file to another lossy file as there is quality that is lost in the conversion.

M4a is lossless

M4a is lossless

In iTunes, .m4a is both the AAC extension, and the Apple Lossless extension.

Weird, so ya degradation will apply then.

I would recommend converting them to .wav using said program then converting them to .wma pro also using said program. this doesn't cause any degradation and significantly reduces the file size as those apple lossless files are quite large.
