I was under the impression mp4 was video made at really small compression for things such as mobile phones.

well i have just found the files as a cd audio file so i just need to convert it to mp3 from there not sure which software to use for that yet but will look into it

So you need to convert CD Audio to MP3?

What's the file extension? .cda? .wav?

Are you ripping from CD to MP3? Try Windows Media Player, RealPlayer, Winamp, or the thousand other pieces of software that rip CDs...

If you have a file that needs conversion, there's a thousand pieces of software that do that, too. Try Konverter v3.46.3

Also, make sure you have a copyright license to the song you want to use. Wouldn't want to get sued.

i had to do that recently grafik, with tunes I had imported or bought with iTunes. There were quite a few so instead of messing with audio editors I changed iTunes import preferences to mp3, burnt the tunes I wanted and imported them again. Hardly elegant but didn't take long, just changed my preferences back afterwards and said nothing. Apart from now

Anyone know how to convert MP4 into MPEG... or any software to play MP4 on the computer?

The MP in MP4 stands for mpeg -which stands for Moving Picture Experts Group, the name of family of standards used for coding audio-visual information (e.g., movies, video, music) in a digital compressed format.
MP4 is a video format M4A is audio and the succesor of MP3. Quicktime will play MP4,

As d*d said, MP4 = MPEG - just a newer MPEG standard.

Quicktime on MacOS. Windows Media Player on Windows.

I prefer Media Player Classic - open source player that supports almost all media types - it'll play DVD, CD, MP3, OGG, AVI, MPG, Windows Media filetypes (wma, asf, wmv, etc), Quicktime, RealPlayer, etc, etc (if you have the codecs installed). Just Google it, I'm lazy.
