So I don't know if anyone else knew this but most Itunes songs seem to get downloaded in a M4A = MPEG4 format and the q does not recognize this format. I found a cheap converter for $14.90 called soundtaxi platinum, which converts the files into MP3 format. These can then be cut by other software programs to add in your sounds folder as ringtones. Just trying to help.

Sure it does. I use a mac, but Im pretty sure its the same on a PC. Just go to the preferences, select the importing tab, then click the drop down menu that lets you select what format you want to convert to. Now when you go to the tool bar in the main window, it will say "Convert to MP3", as opposed to "Convert to AAC".

It still doesn't allow you to convert music downloaded form the iTunes store into any other format. Apple did this to prevent pircay.. >_> Still, you can just burn the M4A's to a CD and then use iTunes to rip them to mp3
Actually there are m4a and M4b files. The M4a are not encrypted and you can convert them to MP3. This is done through iTunes as stated above and you do not have to burn to disk first.
M4b files are from the iTunes store and are encrypted. There are ways to convert them to MP3, but you can't do it directly. You can use the method listed above by burning to disk then rip to MP3 but you lose all track info. There are 3rd party utilities that can convert by using the iTunes encryption keys as well.

I prefer to use other third-party utilities to convert those protected iTunes music to plain MP3, so that I can use it not only on iPod. BTW, I used NoteBurner and Sound Taxi, and i think NoteBurner is better.
