[seilerba]

Hi
I just installed dbpowerampt music conveter and tried to convert some .m4a files (from i-tunes). but i allways get the error message:
-------------------------
Error converting to mp3 (Lame), 'X:\Musik\...\09 River.m4a' to 'X:\Musik\...\09 River.mp3'
Error m4a audio file is corrupt. [clfaad::DecodeBlock]
-----------------------
can anybody tell me what's the reason and what i could do about it?

Are the m4a files really m4p (copy protected)?

Try to play your files in iTunes or another player and see if you can play it. If not, the file is either corrupt or protected and just mis-named.
