If you have moved from Apple's iPod to Microsoft's Zune, you probably have some songs that you purchased from the iTunes Music Store that you would like to move to the new device.

Putting itunes music on a Zune is both time consuming and tricky. The easiest way to make them available to your Zune is to burn the songs onto an audio CD using iTunes and then ripping the CD using the Zune software.

Create a new playlist in iTunes.
Add the protected songs to your playlist until you have 72 minutes of music.
Click Edit and select Preferences.
Select the Advanced tab.
Click the radio button next to Audio CD on the Burning tab.
Click the Burn Disc button.
Upon completion of burning the disc, rip the songs to MP3 using Windows Media Player.
Open the Zune software and sync the newly created MP3's to your Zune device.

There's no direct way to copy files from an iPod to a Zune. Files purchased from iTunes music store will not play on a Zune, just as files purchased from Zune Marketplace won't play on an iPod. Using NoteBurner Audio Converter, you can get any MP3 files stored on an iPod onto a Zune.

MAC M4P Converter installs a virtual CD-RW, it helps you burn any unprotected or DRM protected M4P, M4a, AAC music files onto the virtual CD, rips tracks on the virtual CD, encodes tracks onto MP3, AAC 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.
