FRIGGIN Itunes store!!!

[ArmanB89]

Hey guys, I have an issue. I purchased two songs from the itunes store, and it is not allowing me to import them into Serato. On the bottom it says could not import, quicktime is not installed.

The files are .m4a

What can I do to make these work in my Serato?

Thanks

i don't use serato. but it seems like pretty obvious that serato depends on quicktime. why else would it throw you this error message? so install it.

additional info--until recently, on the windows platform, the itunes installer included quicktime. not anymore. so if you reinstalled your system and/or apple software recently, you might not have noticed that quicktime is missing.

its only for the two songs that I got off the itunes store though, everything else works fine.

right. do you have AAC/.m4a files besides those two which play fine?

Are these files DRM protected? I'm fairly sure that you can't play DRM-protected files with DJ software.

All my other tracks are .mp3 from beatport, so I do not have any other protected files.

I am unsure how do I find out if they are DRM protected?

^^^ your answers strongly suggest that quicktime is not installed on your system (or the installation is corrupted).

music bought from the itunes store isn't drm-ed unless you bought it years ago.

You could just convert them to mp3s right?

If they are drm, burn them to a cd ten rip them from that...

Hmm I just re downloaded and re installed Quicktime from apple's website, and it still gives me the same error. How can I convert these files to MP3 without it effecting the tracks quality?

convert them to mp3 through itunes.
