M4P Converter uses a Virtual CD Burning method to ByPass DRM control for iTunes music collection.

An M4P converter allows the owner of protected audio files such as those purchased from Apples' iTunes to either remove the DRM protection from the file or convert the file into a variety of other audio formats such as MP3 or WAV. These formats can then be used for creating audio CDs or opened for listening by other media players or devices.

There are mainly two methods used by M4P Converters. The first method is to burn a copy to an audio CD and then rip/encode it. Some M4P Converter software takes an even smarter method which allows user to burn music to a Virtual CD-RW disc and then automatically rip/encode the music stored on the Virtual CD-R. This makes the whole conversion process automatic and faster. NoteBurner (http://www.noteburner.com) and Tune4Mac (http://www.tune4mac.com) are these M4P Converters using this virtual cd burning method.

The second method is to use a recording software and sound card. TuneBite, SoundTaxi, NoteCable, WMA Converter are these of the most popular software tools.

Something about the Virtual CD Burning method:
NoteBurner M4P Converter installs a virtual CD-RW, it helps you burn any unprotected or DRM protected M4P, M4a, WMA music files onto the virtual CD, rips tracks on the virtual CD, encodes tracks onto MP3, WAV or WMA music files. It can repeat this audio converting procedure until your whole music collection is done.

Since the virtual CD emulates your computer RAM and hard disk as erasable CD-RW drive (Virtual CD-RW), the converting speed is faster than any other m4p to mp3 conversion programs.

This useful M4P Converter can be found on http://www.noteburner.com and it has both WinXP/Vista and Mac versions.
