Heather has a fairly good sized music collection on her laptop / IPod, and I also have a fairly good sized set of songs on my computer.
the problem is that everything Heather has is locked in ITunes, and to put it gently I don’t like that. One of my goals once we setup a household together has been to have every meaningful byte of data backed up at least once, if not twice. ITunes is going to be a huge pain in that regard, so I was hoping to figure out a simple way to get the songs back into MP3 so I could just burn them out to DVDs or back them up to the server I plan to build.
I wasn’t sure how hard that was going to be, but I happened to see an article on LifeHacker about getting files out of .wma (the Windows format, with all the same problems as .acc) and saw links to a few options.
With any luck, one of those programs will let me quickly and easily unify two music collections into one big happy pile of mp3s.
