Audacity won't open up most highly compressed file types; AAC, MP4, M4A, etc. etc. No matter how you try to open them up, you'll get trash or maybe a squeek in place of the music.

You need to convert the music to something Audacity can understand before they will open.

ok how do i convert for audacity to understand it?

There's a free program called SUPER by erightsoft that can convert most media file types. If you can convert the files to WAV files that should fix the problem.
