if anyone else is having this problem, all of my songs that wouldn't match yesterday with the older version of iTunes did match with the newest version of iTunes today. Is anyone aware of a way to convert these old m4p files to mp3 (that doesn't result in an absurd amount of malware and viruses on my computer)? I saw some comments about a 30 cent per song upgrade fee, but I don't even see that option in the iTunes store. If I have to purchase my music a second time just so that it is actually usable, I'm afraid I will NEVER purchase anything Apple again, I refuse to support such deplorable thievery and nonsense. I don't see any other option other than to repurchase the songs as mp3 files from amazon or google (since iTunes is sooooo overpriced), and I don't think I should have to do this since I already purchased the songs from Apple at a grossly overpriced rate in the first place. I tried burning them to CDs as I've seen suggested many times, but they do not burn correctly, the song length always come out weird (such as every single song on the disc comes out at 2:36 or 4:06 in length, regardless of how long the song actually is and regardless of the burn speed or that I have selected none as the space between songs), I tried purchasing a 4media file converter, but the songs always end up 0:00 in length or at the correct length but with no sound at all. I've tried searching online and in apple to find a solution to this, but with no success. I already purchased iTunes Match which has brought the number of affected files down to the afore mentioned 200+ songs. I would like to convert my 200+ old iTunes "Protected AAC Audio Files" / m4p songs to Purchased AAC Audio Files or mp3 files so that I can use them on something other than my iPod (such as my android phone, or my android tablet, or my husband's android phone, or a cd in my car.). I have the new iTunes, I believe the version is 12.2.
