These volunteers keep the board organized and moving. Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity) Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum. Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules. Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted. Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender. Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration. The Rules 1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement. 2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures. 3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum. 4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks. 5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement. 6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem. 7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required. 8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning. 9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online. 10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents. 11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection. 12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban. 13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts. 14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. 15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues. Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis. Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community. |

 you shouldent convert them at all , or if you do ,please dont share them on p2p. converting ANY lossy format to any other lossy format just degrades the qualety. if your downloding m4as ,chances are they were allredy made from mp3s in the first place, thus making the supiriority of m4a non-existant. m4a is so new i think until it gets real popular you should stick with 320k mp3s. when you downloading just go for the high bitrate (320,256,224)mp3s insted of the 128k m4a.  |

| There's definitely some people who convert lossy formats to others. Be it mp3 to m4a, or mp3 to wma or vice versas. The risk is there whether you downld mp3, wma or m4a. Personally I generally encode with m4a at high bit rates. If you see an m4a file with a higher than 320 kpbs bit rate then chances are it's an apple lossless file. Apple lossless is equivalent to FLAC & APE in the respect it is smaller than WAV or AIFF but still the "identical" quality. Lossless audio is generally around 50-60% the size of wav & aiff, though can get smaller than 30% in my experience (depending on the sound.) |

| Okay, guys (or gals), I get what you are saying but no one is really answering my question. Can you convert m4a files to mp3 or wma by using nero or other compatible players and if so, how? I'll worry about the sound quality and make my own opinion, thank you very much. I just want to know if it can be done, that's all. |

| iTunes can convert M4A (or rather AAC) to MP3, AIFF, WAV, Apple Lossless and vice versa in all directions. The Windows Version can also convert unprotected WMAs to the mentioned formats (but not vice versa). ---- i herd that m4a/mp4 is an riaa scam im just repeating what sombody told me OMG!  m4a is so new Yeah, only >5 years. Next time verify your sources! |

| CRT why are you only a wav person? What about apple lossless, FLAC & APE formats? They're identical in quality. It's like a file that's been zipped. Once unzipped it's the identical to what it was. And even when played back in its compressed state is such TMK. |

"Appreciate the info, but I just would like to make my own judgement...." i was just stating my opinion. not trying to make you use wav files. you can use your own judgment all you want and use wuatever formatt best sutes your needs, its none of my business nor do i want it to ever be my business. |
