Do m4p encoded itunes songs play natively?

Is there an app to play them on the DX

Failing the above, is there a good/free converter?

Intent of course it to dump the Ipod and just th\use the Droid X for all things.

I am sorry I did not understand what you are saying here.

The clause "just get use itunes" is confusing to me.  Is "Use Itunes" an app? Or, is it a Menu Item? 

Hou do you get Windows Media Player to open Itunes music?

Would there be a differene in the Windows Media Player on my Win XP media Center and perhaps the Win Media Player on a Win 7 machine that would allow the win 7 to do what you are saying and not the Wim XP machine?

sorry about that. you cant use itunes with the droid itunes is an apple thing. just use windows media player once open go to add files/folders and add all your mp3...mp4 to windows media player. plug your dx into computer and sync everything will transfer to droid. is this music you got off the itunes store??? if so your out of luck...

Hate to appear so clueless here.

Does an Itunes track have an MP4 extension?

Will Tracks with an mp4 extension play natively on a DX.

If so, I should be able to just drag and drop into my music folder and play them either with Music or Meridian??? Right??

well I did some googling and an MP4 isn't an Itune.

an Itune extension appears to be an M4P so I would need to convert from an M4P to an MP3 to get the DX to play it???

Is that right?

Will Doubletwist convert the itunes to something playable on the Droidx or will it just play them as they stand?

M4P is iTunes protected audio files and you may run into issues converting or playing these files, I have a number of M4V files which is iPhone protected videos and there doesnt appear to be a easy way to convert the files to make them useable...

You can also try downloading the VCast Media Manager onto your laptop/pc and it will let you sync ur music from your x and play with it just like the itunes library.  It also has an option to let you import or export music between the x and the ipod. it's pretty easy ... i just did for my son last night.  took less than 10 minutes.  it is a good way to purchase music from and to only one source and share it on both the ipod and the x.

V Cast Media Manager works great and it's very easy.  BUT - all songs are listed on the phone in alphabetical order, in album view too.  I called Verizon and they do not have any way to fix the sort on the phone.  Everything is sorted correctly on the computer, just not in on the X.  If anyone has any ideas .....

I'm late to the party but all I do is go to music\itunes\itunes media\music on my PC and drag what I want to the MP3 folder on my phone SD card mp3 folder. Windows 7 converts automaticaly.

This works on purchased Itunes, Purchased itune music video as well as non purchased library music.

 

No third party apps needed.
