looking for free download to convert ATRAC music files to MP3

[Flier]

can't find any free ones online, does anyone know or use one? for ds' mp3 player, such a nuisance when you download music (and paid for it) and then you can't put it on your mp3!

anyone?

I could be wrong, but I don't think there is a direct way. What you may be able to do is burn them to a CD and then use a CDripper such as CDEX to convert from the CD to mp3 on the PC.
Hardly ideal I know and that's assuming your current set up allows you to copy to CD.

Some people might suggest (oh not me cos I am much too pure ) that you could just download them again using filesharing software (utorrent for example) in the right format. That would be technically illegal, but hardly immoral since you paid for them already.

good thinking greyriverside, i may have to burn to cd and then copy from there to mp3. what a pain in the a**

thanks
