Hi Guys.

Am I right in saying that m4p files are not compatible with Serarto Itch? I'm a bit gutted cos I have about 4000 songs in m4p format and spent thousands of pounds on them.

Serato does state that Itch is compatible with iTunes, do they just mean m4a?

Only got my vci-300 yesterday and I'm proper gutted.

Please help.

Hi Jacob,

Most m4p files are DRM protected by iTunes, meaning they won't play in anything other than iTunes / and iPods. If you are purchasing from iTunes, look out for iTunes Plus + which have no DRM protection
With the files you have already purchased, check out this wiki entry for Scratch LIVE users:
ssl-wiki.help.bootlegs.de

It is the same principle for Itch users :)
