Converting Files Question

[AliceinWDW]

Can anyone recommend a program (preferably free) to use to convert m4a's to mp3's? I have several m4a files that I want to put on my mp3 player (it doesn't support m4a's). I would prefer not to install itunes. (We get along like oil and water  ) Thanks for any help!!

Although I do have paid-for programs to convert stuff, I agree, Super does it for free  ;D
You do need a fast PC or you'll get moans from Super that your PC is not up to spec (still works though).
Personally, I use Ultra mp4 video converter from www.aone-soft.com/mp4_video_converter.htm
It's not free ($29.99) but you get lifetime upgrades and I have yet to find anything it doesn't work with - oh, apart from .ape files  : (ignore the "video" part of the title. It does audio as well and converts anything to anything else - and very simple to use).
I use it to convert the HD stuff from here to avi and to rip the sound of Youtube vids etc. and to resize stuff for my little Archos player.
I suppose we all have our own favorites, of course.

That one says it is shareware and has limitations

I bought and regularly use dBpoweramp (http://www.dbpoweramp.com/) so I have no personal experience with any of the software listed on these webpages:

It's interesting to see that if you sort the list by rating, the highest rated app converts m4p to m4a .
