Can't we convert itunes downloads to MP3 format anymore?

If so how do I do it it doesn't come down in the drop down menu anymore!!

Yes, you can. Although be aware that cross converting one lossy format to another lossy format may result in a loss of audio quality.
In iTunes open the Prefs > General and click "import settings." Change the options to your desire MP3 settings and click the OK buttons. In the iTunes browser highlight the track or tracks right-click (or control-+click) and choose "create XXX version."
Also be aware this will create a new track in the iTunes library.

  • Why can't i convert itunes into an mp3 format?

    I looked on Apple's website for information on how to convert itunes into a mp3 format on your windows pc. I followed each step. I clicked on Edit and Preferences and set it to Mp3 converter. I then selected the songs I wanted to convert into. Then I clicked Advanced. When I clicked Advanced, it showed "Create Mp3 Version" but it was grayed out. And i was unable to click it. I do not know if I did something wrong or..? Please help me out with this situation because I really want to convert it to an Mp3 format to post it on a website. Thanks.

    It doesn't work if you simply open it in a browser tab. When you download it and open in an Adobe window you will be able to click on it and type your information in the spaces provided.

  • Converting iTunes music to MP3 format

    I am attempting to add music to a video I have created using Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0. Unfortunately, most of the music in iTunes is not of the correct format (MP3) and I don't know how to convert it if it is even possible.

    I think i understand what you are saying. Burn the song(s) into an empty disk. Then either import that cd to another music player(such as windows media player) and use it fromt here, or put the songs directly from your new cd to your video. When you import a song into itunes, itunes automatically converts the file into ipod compatible. This is why it is in thw wrong format. Hope that wasnt too confusing.

  • 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.

  • Convert REM Files to MP3 Format?

    I have downloaded several songs via the Amazon MP3 application on my Blackberry Curve 9300.  Little did I know that the songs were downloaded as rem files and not mp3 format?  I cannot upload the files to my desktop or laptop computers nor my Kindle. 
    Amazon said since I downloaded most of the songs over 3 months ago, they cannot move them over to my Cloud Player.  How do I convert rem file to mp3 format?  I do not want to have to purchase these songs again.

    That process above won't work. Waste of time.
    Your files were downloaded as MP3 files, but you have content encryption placed on your Media Card, and then the REM extension is added to the filename, because you have protected those files.
    You must turn off the encryption first, and then you can copy the files and they will be usable.

  • I need to find a way to convert .WMA files to .MP3 format on Lion

    I need to find a way to convert .WMA files to .MP3 format; with Snow Leopard, I could do that using iTunes, but since upgrading to Lion, I can convert the files to a .mov format in Quick Time, but cannot move the file into iTunes in order to convert it to .MP3. If you can suggest a work-around or an app that will work with Lion, would be much appreciated.

    Haven't used it myself, but worth a look http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/27103/all2mp3

  • I can't access the itunes store on my computer anymore.

    I can't access the itunes store on my computer anymore.

    Has this been resolved?  I'm having the same issue now....
    Everytime I login to iTunes from my computer I'm getting a "can't connect to iTunes" error message.  It goes halfway through accessing iTunes, then I get that "iTunes quit unexpectedly" script where a log of my error messages shows up that will be sent to Apple.
    Anyone having this issue?  I can't even upload any apps from my computer.  But no problem accessing through my iPhone 4S or iPad.
    Any suggestions anyone??
    Thanks!

  • How can I convert all of my iTunes files into mp3.format?

    These are songs that I downloaded from my cds, but I want to be able to put them back on my desktop in MP3 format to put on a non-itunes compatible portable music player. Thanks!

    Set iTunes Preferences Advanced Import to MP3
    Select all the tracks you're referring to
    CTRL-Click onto this selection - "Convert to MP3"
    After that you may want to delete the non-MP3 source files

  • 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.

  • Converting iTunes (m4a) to mp3 or wav

    I have a fairly extensive iTunes library which I sync with my iPod Nano 2. My daughter has just been given an mp3 player for her birthday and I'm trying to find a simple way of exporting & converting tracks for her to either mp3 or WAV format without losing my m4a. Any ideas short of burning original to CD then re-importing under her account (where import of CD's is set to mp3)?
    I have managed to open an iTunes track as m4a within Quicktime and save as a wav file, but the file size went from 2.6 MB to 11.7 MB - not very practical.
    Cheers, Andy

    If the file is an .m4p then it is DRM protected and you can only burn is as an audio CD - you can figure out the rest.
    If the file is a .m4a - no DRM - then you should be able to convert it to an mp3 within iTunes. Change your iTunes import options prefs.

  • Converting Itune Songs to MP3

    Change your importing preferences to mp3 (Prefs>Advanced>Importing). Then, right click on the songs you want to convert and select Convert to mp3.

  • Converting Itunes Download to MP# for use

    As i understand that Itunes does not want us to convert protected material for .99 we should get a choice of having to pay more so we can convert it, say 3.00 so the record companies can get their milllions more.
    A four year old boy died and he loves the you can fly song from peter pan. We want to use this for a little family video but are not able to because it can't be converted.
    Is my only choice to buy the CD (if I can get it at this late notice) in order to have an mp3 of this song?
