    Use iTunes to convert it for you...I think. I recall being able to pull up a list of conversion options in iTunes a while back.

    "Apple music" ... I was expecting something else, and not a movie file having to be transformed back into a 'basic' sound file...

    I tried, It kept failing. Thanks anyway.

    Hahaha I tried like 5-6 of them, It felt more like a scam with all the “Download this/that”.
    Finally being fed up with it I asked here.

    It is apple music. Check where the 4 is located. MP4 is a movie container. M4P is an apple file format.

    From the looks of it, your failures are coming from DRM. I have absolutely no clue how to defeat it, but someone has to have the solution.

    That said, I did see some interesting advice...have you tried burning the songs to a CD? I mean, make a virtual CD rom drive. "Burn" those songs to an image. Open the image, and proceed to pull them as mp3's. It's a multistep process that should work if all else fails.

    src: https://www.wikihow.com/Convert-iTunes-M4P-to-MP3

    Edit: Crap. The software that lets you do this tend to be commercial paid software. The other advice in that source may be useful though. For instance, there is mention that older music encoded with AAC may be blocking the conversion process so you'll need a 3rd party converter for those songs.

    Will do, Thank You.

    Yup I figured It was DRM, And Yea most of those converters were paid softwares.
    Though Thanks about the virtual CD idea, I completely forgot that you could just make an ISO file rather than getting CD to burn.
    I think iTunes lets you do that.
    Le me try, I will inform you later.
    Thanks bdw.

    There are so many free video converter to help you convert MP4 to MP3 with ease. But if your files are from iTunes store, you should pay attention that some of video files are protected by DRM protection. You should use DRmare M4V Converter to convert iTunes files to MP3. But no what which file you have, you can turn up to Google, it will give your a perfect solution.

    If you are looking for a fast and all-in-one DRM audio converter, I think you can have a test with AudFree DRM Audio Converter. It's able to convert multiple kinds of DRM-protected M4P files to MP3 losslessly.

    Hope it's helpful for you.

    Not sure you still need help or not or if my method still works. But try 123app https://123apps.com/
    I have been using them since 10 years ago before they switch domains. And it works magic, no sign up or logins and fast.

    Though I haven't have the need to use them in the recent years so I don't know if they change their service.
