No.
Why not simply export them from Audacity as MP3 to iTunes? You don't need any other converters...

Convert .aac files to .mp3 in itunes 11.0

How do I convert files from .aac to .mp3? I've changed my 'import as' settings to .mp3, and when I select a file, and click File->Create New File, all I can select is .aac format.
Thanks.

Janice.
You can convert AAC files to MP3 by using the Advanced > Convert menu. However, you must first go to the Preferences > Advanced menu and change "Import Using AAC Encoder" to "Import using MP3 Encoder". This setting is used for both importing and converting. When you are finished converting, change the Preferences setting back to the encoder you prefer for importing.
You can burn an MP3 CD if your CD player can play that format. You can fit a lot more songs on an MP3 CD than an Audio CD, but not all CD players can play an MP3 CD. Just go to iTunes > Preferences > Advanced >Burning and select the type CD you want. Note that songs must first be converted to MP3 format to burn to an MP3 CD. If your songs are in AAC format, iTunes converts them on the fly to AIFF when burning an Audio CD, but cannot burn them to an MP3 CD unless you convert them to MP3 files first.
Hope this helps.

Convert AAC files to MP3 in iTunes?

On my Mac, I can download from the internet in either MP3
or AAC. I can also change MP3 files to AAC. But, can I
change AAC files to MP3? I'm sure Apple had me do this one
time to override some iTunes error, but I can't seem to do
it now. I used this MP3 format for a long time so a lot of
my downloaded songs are in this format. Now I'd like to
change them back to AAC because it says I can't make a CD
from MP3 files. Can I change the format or is there some
way I can make a CD with MP3 files? I think I did it before
on my old computer....I MUST have done it before because so
many songs are in MP3 but it says I can't do it on the new
mac.

Bug On Converting AIF files to mp3 on iTunes 8

Is this a bug?
I compose and produce movie scores and iTunes is an easy way to convert AIF masters to mp3 files to mail people . Is just me.... or is there a bug in the latest version what iTunes 8 just re- named - "create mp3 version" causes an UNKNOWN ERROR (-50)
I have to say whilst I'm here visiting this forum - as a professional iTunes customer / user that has many of my own albums on iTunes ......... their recent "authorisation" updates (eg. burning an mp3 from an album etc) have become a pain in the whatsit-!!
Also moving iTunes around from computer to computer whilst working on projects ...... it used to be possible in a worst case scenario - to burn an audio CD from iTunes tracks as a way of copying stuff onto other computers .... now that is impossible.
The lovely APPLE CORP have become both a professional's best friend but also worst enemy. I'd love to report that iTunes has made me rich but the insulting per centage of money handed back to composer/artist/producers does nothing but add to Apple's billion dollar empire-!!
DOES ANYONE KNOW OF A RELIABLE APPLICATION THAT CREATES MP3's FROM WAV OR AIF SOUND FILES ....... I find audacity has some sound quality issues. <Edited by Moderator>
Best wishes to all

If you have a need to work on multiple computers then it seems sensible to use an external drive. Just put the Library data file, .xml file and the album artwork folder on the external drive.
Create a folder named iTunes on the ext HD and nest everything just as if it were on your internal.
Of course you have selected your import settings in iTunes prefs>General>Import Settings to .mp3.
In iTunes v8.0 they have moved some of the settings panels around.

How do you convert odm files to mp3 using itunes?

I am trying to download audio books from my public library and then install them on my mp3 player. the file format is odm.
What is the process for doing this and what software is required?

ODM files checked out from a library usually are copy-protected and cannot be converted, by iTunes or any other software. If so, they can only be played in a device that can run Overdrive's software. You'll need to consult with your library and possibly with Overdrive to learn if there are any options that would allow the audiobook to be played on a standard MP3 player.

Trying to convert wav file to mp3 using itunes?

Is there not an easier way to convert a wav file to an mp3. I import my file or folder but it does not convert. I have had to manually ask it to create an aac or aca out of each import. shouldn't it convert audimatically when I import file or folder. It did on the last version before this new update. Please help.

If Garageband doesn't work, try Audacity.

I converted aif files to mp3 files in I tunes so I could put them on a flash drive. Now when I transfer an album to the flash drive I get both the aif files and the mp3 files in the flash drive. How do I get the iTunes to only copy the smaller file?

My suggestion to use the smart playlist was more along the lines of making one list with rules to show everything in your library as long as it was kind "mpeg" (= mp3).
Smart playlists cannot be edited manually, only by changing the rules. You can use them as the basis for another smart playlist though.
There is added overhead to using smart playlists, so don't go overboard.

How to convert .mov files to MP3?

I am recording an entire book for someone who can't read. I'm using Quicktime Pro to do the recording. I want to burn a CD for her that she'll be able to play on any old CD player. How do I converrt the .mov files to MP3 or other usable format?

Itunes preferences > Advanced Tab > Importing Tab > Import Using Drop Down Menu
However as Kirk said it's pointless converting your files to mp3 if there going on to CD. This means you will compress the files, lose quality and they will then have to be reconverted to be burnt to CD. You would be better off exporting straight out of QT Pro as AIFF, this way you will not lose quality. You can then burn from iTunes toast etc no probs at all using this format.

Converting WAV files to MP3

When trying to convert my wav files to mp3 in itunes, I get an error pop-up that says "The disk could not be read from or written to." These files worked fine before I updated to the new itunes.

The files are on my hard drive Steve. They were audio files that I downloaded from my personal camera. I didn't even think these kinds of files had permissions.
OK just wanted to make sure. Sometimes, read/write errors occur when write protection is enabled on, say, an SD card. (that little tab on the top)
All files actually have permissions under Mac OS X, one of the aspects of the underlying UNIX file system. Every file is capable of being readable, writable, and/or executable by either the owner, the group to which he/she belongs to, and/or everybody. Sometimes accessing files becomes erratic when the file's permissions unknowingly change, thus the good idea to "repair permissions" from time to time with Disk Utility.
However, you mentioned that the original WAV files came from your digital camera. What happens if you try to open these WAVs with the QuickTime Player? Do they play as per usual?
PaulSimpson wrote:
If you still think repairing my permissions with my install disc is the way to go, I'm game, but I'm going to need a bit more step by step.
We'll save that for a little later. Originally, I was leaning toward the feeling that the hard disk may have needed verifying/repairing (through Disk Utility) - because of the read/write errors. But it is possible that it may be an issue with the WAV files themselves.

Converting mp4 files to mp3 files

could someone tell me how to convert mp4 files into mp3 files? thanks

Now this is clear.
You didn't have an .mp4 file or even a .m4a file. Yours is .m4p.
The "p" stands for protected.
The rules say you can burn your .m4p files to CD. The CD file will be in .aiff format.
Drag the .aiff file into iTunes and then "convert" (using the options in your preferences for bit rate and extension).

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

Convert .FLA files to .MP3?

Is there an application (freeware/shareware) that will convert flash .FVA files to .MP3? I've tried ffmpegx but it doesn't reconginize the .fva file and using the encoder in VLC player just produces a file full of static. My search has turned up fruitless so far so any help will be appreciated.

After further research I found a freeware app called Max that will convert .FLAC files to .MP3. I had to add a "C" to the extension of the orginal file but it worked perfectly.
Here's the link if anyone else is interested:

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.

How to convert AMR files into MP3 or WAV?

Hello,
I'm not sure if that's the right place to ask, but I couldn't find any more suitable one, so...
Can anyone recommend a nice convenient application to convert my phone's recordings from AMR format to MP3 or WAV - eg. something I can conveniently listen to on my PC?
Thanks in advance!

Many of my friends recommend iDealshare VideoGo to convert AMR files to MP3 or WAV.
Today i just have a try, and find it really works great in converting AMR to MP3, WAV, WMA, AAC, AIFF etc with high audio quality.
what i like prefer is its drag and drop fuction and batch conversion fuction.
Here is the step by step guide at How to Convert AMR to MP3, WAV?
Hope it also helps for you.

Are you using iMovie? Can you explain what/how you are getting to the point that you want to burn the video. My suggestions would depend on your workflow and I burn movies to DVD quite often.
