Playing Music before service starts

This is NOT my experience. I just checked my iTunes Library for some of the tunes I have purchased from them. If you look at them in your iTunes library, right click, and view in Windows Explorer, another right click to go to properties it shows an .m4a extension, not mp3.

If there is a way to force iTunes to deliver mp3 I would love to hear about it.

Hi everyone. Here is what i would do.
1-First why not plug in your iPod and have the music play from there? You can also have another program (WMP or iTunes) playing any song (but mute the player), so you get you visualization as well.

2- If you have your music on iPod, try grabbing then from your iPod using a program like "iDump", after transferring the files you should be able to burn the to CDs and such.

3- If all fail, get a nice recording software (you can use MP3 Recorder, Audacity even windows movie maker), play the song and record what is playing from your card. This should be able to do it for you.

Let us know if it works.
Cheers,
Sam

We recently hooked a portable disc-man style cd to a channel on the board and we let it run 24/7. We put in there a prelude "mix' that our associate pastor had together.

rePete,

There's a setting in iTunes (somewhere in the preferences) that determines what format files are saved in. By default, it's m4v, as I believe this is the best quality for iPods. However, since these files are usually a little larger than mp3's I reset my default to mp3!

You can also select songs in iTunes, right-click and select "Convert to MP3" (or something very similar).

Hope this helps!

God bless,
-John.
