    Does this help? I assume you mean AAC; MP4 is a video container format.

    No idea - I don't have one.

    Any other way to copy the Ipod MP4 files to a USB stick and then convert them to play on a car stereo which only plays MP3's? Thanks

    Hi
    WinFF will do the job. (For Windows or Linux).:cool:
    From here
    But there are lots of other programs can do the same thing.
    :)

    Are they easy to use, safe and virus free?

    Safe and virus-free? Certainly. Unfortunately quite a few come bundled with unwanted 'helper' applications which are often difficult to remove.

    OpenCandy, for example.

    Maybe buying an ipod to use is the best option then. Just on a new laptop and don't want it cluttered with programmes that I can't get rid of! Thanks for your help.

    That was in reply to someone else regarding a completely different subject. I'd presumed from your previous posts that you already possessed an iPod and would therefore not be requiring a third-party utility.

    Sorry I am confussing everyone now... My wife has an ipod with itunes music and I was looking to download some tunes to play in the car on a USB device.
