Most players can now play M4A just fine, so you can just get rid of iTunes, since there is no DRM on your files.

I have a program called Switch sound file converter which I use to convert windows media files to MP3 but have no idea whether or not it can convert files in the Itunes format. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael A Ray" <mike.ray@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Access-UK" <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, June 21, 2013 5:29 PM Subject: [access-uk] iTunes...I want it gone > Hello list, > > I'm sick of trying to use iTunes.
