Converting itunes songs into mp3s?

hi
just wondering whether there is a way? I have just got a car with an MP3 CD player and wanted to use itunes to burn an mp3 CD. However, i can't as everything is either encoded as AAC when i burnt all my CDs or i can't as i have downloaded them from the itunes site.
Is there a way of converting them to mp3, that doesn't include burining a cd and reripping them as an mp3?

Liam,
Is there a way of converting them to mp3, that doesn't include burining a cd and reripping them as an mp3?
Song files purchased from iTMS are copy-protected to deter music piracy so that's your only option.
For songs you've ripped into iTunes yourself, you can have a look at this article in the Apple Knowledge Base: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93123
Note the warning that converting from one lossy format to another will result in the loss of some audio fidelity. So try that method out with a few songs before deciding whether you want to proceed or re-import your CD's with the new Import settings.

    Basically it is equivalent to transferring songs from an iPod to another iPod- impossible?

  • How to convert iTunes songs into MIDI files?

    I want to copy an iTunes song and convert the copied song into a MIDI file. How do I do this?

    Can't be done...
    A MIDI file is a set of instuctions for making music. Play this note, then, for that long, on this particular instrument, with these settings. Multiplied by as many notes and instruments as are required. A MIDI file can be turned into music automatically. Turning music into the instructions to make it is, as far as I am aware, beyond the capabilities of current software.

  • How can I get iTunes to convert my songs to MP3's again and not this AAC version. I need them in MP3's for my spicing software.

    I use a spicing program that does not support iTunes.  I need to be able to convert my songs to MP3's.  I was able to do that from my old laptop but now that I have a new one and everything is converted to the new one I noticed that the MP3 is not on there it is now AAC.  Does anyone know how to convert to MP3's now?  I am in the same version of iTunes but it is not the same.  ODD and FUSTRATING!!

    Change the default encoder to MP3. iTunes will then give you the option to convert any unprotected file in your library to MP3; this won't work with very old iTunes Store purchases.

  • How to Convert iTunes Songs (Apple lossless audio file) to a MP3 for E-mail

    How to Convert iTunes Songs (Apple lossless audio file) to a MP3 for E-mail?
    My computer is Windows 7 and my Itunes software version is 1.0.2
    Many thanks in advance...

    iTunes 1.0.2 is +at least+ eight years old.
    The current version is 9.2, and it's free.
    If that was a typo, and you're using something more current:
    In the iTunes preferences, change the import settings to mp3.
    Then select the songs you wish to convert.
    From the "Advanced" menu, choose "Create mp3 version".
    When done, change the import settings back to Apple Lossless.
    That's it.
    BTW, this is the Logic Pro forum, which has absolutely nothing to do with iTunes.

  • How can i convert my song into .mr4 for making it my ringtone, just renaming it is not working?

    how can i convert my song into .mr4 for making it my ringtone, just renaming it is not working?

    Here's how:
    If you are using Windows, make sure you are able to view the file extension.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/865219
    1. Select a title (.mp3 or .m4a) in your iTunes Music Library
    2. Do File > Get Info on selected title (Windows do Edit > Get Info)
    3. In the dialog choose Options tab
    4. Set Start Time and End Time (no more than 35 secs otherwise won't work)
    5. Close dialog.
    6. Now control click the title (right click) and choose Create AAC Version
    Note: If you don't have Create AAC version, switch in menu File > Preferences...(Windows do Edit > Preferences...) > General > Import Settings... > Import Using: AAC Encoder.
    7. When it is done, drag the newly create title to the desktop.
    8. Delete the newly create title in iTunes. <-- This step is important
    9. Rename the title on your desktop from ringtone.m4a to ringtone.m4r
    10. Drag and drop it into iTunes
    Now you have a ringtone.
    Make sure it is selected in iTunes > Tones for syncing with your new iPhone.

  • Convert itunes files to mp3

    Help please, how do i convert itunes files to mp3 format. i purchased a hp notebook and it has itunes and windows xp home. i have always used windows media player and am new to itunes. do i have to go back to media player or can itunes do the conversion?

    The only conversion I've done is wma to mp3. To do this just simply import them they way you would any other song file. It will tell you that there are song files your trying to import that iTunes isn't compatable with and ask if you want to convert them to mp3 format. Just click yes and iTunes will make an mp3 of the respective songs. The wma's will still be there so if you want to get rid of them you'll have to delete them manually. The only downside is the conversion makes the file larger so it'll take up more space on your hard drive, but you'll be able to listen to it on your iPod.
    As for iTunes purchased music StarDeb is right. Go out and buy the album then rip it onto your hard drive. At least then if your drive crashes you'll always have a backup.

  • How do you change iTunes songs into AAC format?

    Is there a way to change iTunes songs into the AAC format. I need to be able to do this so I can download the songs into my cell phone with an MP3 player.

    be compatible with you phone?
    It says that it needs to be in MP3,AAC,or AAC+ Format. Whatever its in now it is not working and im very unsure of what to do. Thankyou for trying to help.

  • Urgent How to convert wav files into mp3?

    Can anyone plz tell me how can i convert wav file into mp3 using JMF? tell me any sample programme, any method in JMF........ help me plz

    Examples could be found on the JMF Solutions page.
    Only I can say about mp3 through network - it's hardly possible. I recommend GSM for compression2transmit. It could be used via GSM content descriptor. I'm not sure, but I suppose MP3 is supported only for files, there's no MP3.RTP or such (if you want to transmit files, it should not cause any problems).
    About JavaSound - it does not matter... You still need JMF to be installed on Client, and AppletCapture to be enabled. Futrher - would it be DirectSound, JavaSound, or anything else - just the deal of JMF.
    I tried to use JavaSound capture with proceeding AudioInputStream to JMF, but failed to do this.
    About your problem - best solution seems like that:
    capture sound
    put it into processor
    set format to GSM
    transmit
    so then, server receives it and formats it as it likes.
    If you want to transmit exactly files, you should use just some of pure java after capturing. java.net, or such thing.

  • HT1349 I cannot Upgrade To Itunes Plus Or Burn Itunes Songs To Mp3 Cd Disks.

    I have ITunes 10.7.0.21 and I cannot Upgrade To ITunes Plus Or Burn ITunes Songs To Mp3 Cd Disks.  Do I not already have the DRM Free Songs that I have already purchased from ITunes over the course of the last year?  How do I get my DRM Free Songs and be able to burn or transfer them. Please advise

    I think I solved this for me. I had Netbarrier set to enable "Information Hiding" when I first had this problem. Unchecking that setting solved the problem.
