Switch can do this. It comes as trialware, but after the trial period,
you can still use it for free with some limitations. I would guess that
converting M4A files would still work. Note that it won't break DRM.
You can find out more on Switch from the FAQ, including a link to
download the trial, at

Has anyone had any luck with m4a files? Goldwave doesn't really like them.
My winamp player plays them but that's all I can do with them since I'm not
a mac or ipod person.

Hi, I was able to convert some m4b files to mp3 with GoldWave.

Hi folks,
Does anyone know how to convert an M4b, which is some kind of, I
think, Apple extension for audiobook to an mp3 file? I know that,
theoretically, iTunes can do this, but it doesn't work on my Windows
XP computer. i can use itunes to convert the file to every other
format, but when I try to convert it to MP3, iTunes crashes my
computer. I think the crash is somehow related to the fact that this
file is long, about 9 hours,only in one large file instead of split up
in to disks,and iTunes seems to be extremely processor intensive.
I have a 3 GHZ machine, with 1 GB of Ram,and tons of hard drive space
though not enough to comfortably convert it to .wav, and iTunes is the
only program that crashes so badly when trying to make MP3 files. It
also seems to be the only program I have that will open the file.
any advice would be appreciated. I've never had to work with an m4b
format before.
