M4a File Conversion To .wav, Need to convert .m4a file to .wav (or .aif) Options

[tomc11]

Like most on this site I've got quite a collection of songs in iTunes. The other day I was trying to convert a standard .M4a file from iTunes to either a .wav or .aiff (apple loop) so that I can pull some audio samples.
I thought I could do it with my Quicktime Pro but can't find any options in the Save As. Also, tried iTunes itself with no luck. Even tried Apple Loop Utility but it won't load the M4a file.
I use Logic Express 8 and Garageband and I would think that some how I should be able to do this.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Dear tomc11, yes I can help with this. Maybe three or four years ago I wanted to make my first MP3. I knew that it could be done in Logic. I saw the guy do it... But that was so long ago, too much information, I am scared what do I do? There was this really cool Bass Player from New York his name was, I kid you not, Blackassdave. Truth.

Someone asked the same question as you did, I was too embarassed to let people I didn't know how to do what everyone else did. Why I never raised my hand when in school. Scared. Anyway someone miraculously had the same problem. This was the first and last Post I ever saw, I did call him, he rattled off this great list of musicians, "Oh, do you know, Bill, Bob, Blue, Toots, Vibe, Johnny Slick, Funky Fat Frank, BeBop Tony"? Ummm, no. Click. Anyway Blackassdave just said..... "Sound Converter" by Steve Dekorte. It has been the best and least expensive Software I ever purchased. Steve Dekorte is a very zen like source. Sound Converter can convert almost any File. It costs $10.00. All Updates are 100% Free. I think the guy is some good natured hippie, computer guru geek or something. When I Downloaded the Online Copy and it didn't work. I wrote him and said "It don't work"! he wrote back. Did you buy it"? Ooooops! Oh, it ain't free? Guess $10.00 ain't bad. Best ever. Don't thank me thank, Blackassdave.

Thanks Mac Daddy for the info. That could work - If I could just get .wav 's out I'd be happy.
Do you have a link? or can I just Google it?
