I have brought an audiobook from itunes and it is in the MP4b format,i want to change it to MP3 or WMA to play in my car,when i click on create MP3 version i'm told the format cannot be changed because it is protected,is there any free software out there as i don't warrant buying some for one book or can i still do it in itunes
Got a tip for us?

They may be able to open the mp4 files and then convert them to either mp3 or .aiff format.
If all you can get is .aiff, drag the .aiff file into iTunes, and then convert it to mp3.
