Converting a WMA format to MP3 format

Hello, how are you.
How can I convert a WMA Format to MP3 Format using iTunes 7.0.1?
I could do that conversion when I used iTunes 6, Why now not?.
Thank you, so much.
Have a good day.

Did you ever get an answer to your question about converting wma files?
I received some promotional free downloads from a contest and when I downloaded them, they are all wma and I can not get them into my itunes. I click the button that says "convert" when prompted, but then it says it is illegal or something to convert it.

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 have converted/copied my itunes oto mp3 format to play on my PC. unfortunatly I didi not specify a different folder fro the mp3's. I therefore have itunes side by side with my mp3's all in the same folder. How can I remove the mp3's into another folder.

I have converted my itunes on my imac to mp3 format so i could play them on my pc. unfortunatly i did not specify a seperate folder for the mp3's to be sent to once converted.
i now have itunes and mp3's side by side in the itunes media folder. this has the effect of doubling my library.
how can i get rid of the mp3's from this folder en mass, other than erasing them one by one, there are 7000!!!

Click on 'Music' in the iTunes sidebar. Look to see whether you have a 'Kind' column:
If you haven't, choose 'View Options' from the 'View' menu and check 'Kind':
Now go to the Music list again and click on the label of the 'Kind' column. This will group all your AACs and MP3s together. Locate the MP3s: click on the top one. Hold the shift key and click on the bottom one to select them all. If you want to save them drag them to a folder on your Desktop. Then hit 'Delete'. IMPORTANT: when promted, choose to have them moved to the Trash, otherwise they will be removed from the list but kept in the actual library.

Converting .m4p files (iTunes) to .mp3 format for PSP

Is there a conversion program that will allow me to take an iTunes file (.m4p) and convert it to an .mp3 format so that my PSP will be able to recognize the file?

Ive not actually tried protected iTunes Store files with this solution so not sure if it works (if not, yes, you would need to burn them to Audio CD and re-impot them unprotected.)
AACs are compatible with the PSP as-is however, it's just the PSP does not like the .m4a file extension. Simply renaming the extension to .mp4 will address this.
On a PC, you can create a batch file on your PSP memory stick with the following command:
rename *.m4a *.mp4
Run this batch file after copying your iTunes AACs to the memory stick and they will work fine.
I'm sure the same can be achieved on a Mac with AppleScript or Automater, I don't have experience with those to achieve the same results though - perhaps someone could create a rename multiple files example?

Converting UNPROTECTED Mp4 files to Mp3 format?

I have some unprotected Mp4 files that I can't seem to convert to Mp3 format.
The weird thing is, under Advanced, when I try to convert Protected Mp4 videos, there's an option that says "Convert to Mp3 format", but with my unprotected Mp3 files, there is no option for that. I have no idea what to do!
Help? Is there any other way to do this?
They aren't protected files so I'm not sure why there's a problem. I used to be able to do this in older versions of iTunes. What's going on?

Any suggestions on where to start because im kind of lostJMF doesn't encode MP3s, so you're not going to be able to use it. There are a few JMF-additions you could download (Fobs4JMF or Freedom for Media in Java [FMJ]) if you so desire to go that route...
My recommendation for you is to use JavaSound, because it will encode MP3s with some additional libraries and such. Here's some example code of how to encode an MP3 using JavaSound and a thing called Tritonus, but that's explained at the bottom of the example.
[http://www.jsresources.org/examples/Mp3Encoder.html]
If you need any further help with JavaSound, you'll need to go find the specific JavaSound forum to ask it.
If you need any further help with Fobs4JMF or FMJ, you'll have to find a forum on their sites to ask your questions. 3rd party plugins aren't supported by these forums.

Trouble converting downloaded m4a files to mp3 format

This has never happened to me before. I downloaded a full album and 3 of the 13 songs get an error saying "the file format is not valid" when I try to convert the files to mp3 format. How do I go about fixing this?

+if I do that, it will create the MP3 files all in the same iTunes Music folder as the AAC files,+
Yes, if the AACs are by artist/album
+and worse, it will probably duplicate each song in the playlist.+
No, the conversion process does not touch any playlists.
+The only thing I can think of is to either (A) have a blowaway copy of iTunes on the Windows PC, copy all the AAC files to it, import them, and convert them, or (B) allow my real iTunes to duplicate them all, make the MP3 CDs, sort by create date or file type, and delete the MP3 duplicates from the library.+
B sounds easier than A. You can also consider doing the conversions with a non-iTunes program such as Switch, which allows you to specify the destination folder for the new file.

Karri,
If you have .m4a (iTunes Plus songs), you can convert them by using these instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550
If you have .m4p (DRM-encumbered iTunes songs purchased prior to mid-2009) you must first upgrade them to iTunes Plus by following these instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1711

I have been trying to put music I bought on I tunes on my Samsung Note 2 phone but it won't play.I try to convert them to mp3 format so I can play them on my phone but it won't let me convert them because it says they are protected. Can anybody help me?

I have been trying to put music I bought on Itunes on my Samsung Note 2 but my media player won't play m4p files so I tried to convert the files to mp3 but I couldn't, because a message says they are protected files. I then tried downloading different media player apps to see if they would play them but had no success.Can anybody help with a solution to this problem?

First quit iTunes and look in your iTunes folder.
On Windows, the iTunes folder is in your My Music folder.
On Mac, the iTunes folder is in your Music folder.
Follow this path: iTunes > iTunes Media > Music >
Here there should be all your music folders. Open the folders containing the music that is not playing. Right click "get info" (mac) or right click "properties" (windows).
This window will tell you the file type. iTunes will play music in AAC, MP3, and Lossless, etc.
If the files are .wma you will need to convert them into ACC or MP3 format for it to play on an iPod. In iTunes, highlight the tracks that you want to convert, then on the menu bar, Advanced > Create AAC/MP3 version and the tracks will convert. Delete the old files.
If the file extenstion is anything like .exe .txt .rar then you don't have an audio file.

Overdrive app Library changes wma to mp3 format help please

I have iPod 5, iPad 4 and iPhone 5. I use Overdrive app to download Library ebooks and audiobooks. Overdrive has changed from wma format to mp3 format. Can anyone tell me how to do this? Thank you

I am confused. You say OverDrive change the format from WMA to mp3. But then you ask how to do that?
Do what since you said OverDrive did that?
The iPod can't play WMA files. They have to be converted to a format compatible with the iPod.
Itunes Help includes:
Add items from your computer to your iTunes library
Do either of the following:
Drag a file or folder from the desktop to the iTunes window.If you add a folder, all the files it contains are added to your library.
In iTunes, choose File > Add to Library, locate a file or folder, and click Open.
By default, adding items to your iTunes library places a pointer to each file in the iTunes folder; the original file remains in the current location. For information about copying files to the iTunes folder instead of creating pointers to them, see Change where your iTunes files are stored. If the file is an unprotected WMA file and you have Windows Media Player Series 9 or later installed, iTunes makes a copy of the file and adds it to your iTunes library. The original WMA file remains unchanged. You can’t add protected WMA files or protected WMV files to iTunes.
You can also get computer apps to do the conversion

Is there any way I can convert a song in MP4 format to MP3 so it will play on my car radio?

How can I convert a song in MP4 format to MP3 format so it will play on my car radio?

Yes, go to Preferences in iTunes, set the Import setting under the General tab to use MP3. Then select the tracks you want to convert, now you should see a choice in the File menu called 'Create New Version' with a sub-choice of MP3.

ITunes 11...converting files to MP3 Format

I podcast using Garageband, then share the file with iTunes, where I use the advanced menu to convert to MP3...However with the latest upgrade to iTunes 11 the advanced menu is gone...so I can't see how to convert that file to a MP3 format...it seems to be gone...I need some help to see if this still can be done. Any tips?

Ok, I am not sure if you missed my post or were trying to help too many people at the same time. I am reposting my problem....but nevermind about helping now as I figured it out via other helpful channels.
First email before I clarified my question on how to be able to transfer an mps file into Itunes:
Hi there, I have a few mp3 files that I am trying to convert to the Itunes format but once I select the following, it is not imported. I have checked several threads but it hasnt helped me.
File/Add file to library/"I select the mps file from its location on my desktop" and then just a blink happens but I do not see the file imported. I have searched for any untitled folders by album, song name but it doesnt import.
Then, I saw this post and did the following:
Edit/Preferences/General/Import Settings (clicked on it), and selected MP3 Encoder with the high quality option (however I notice it says, befor ethe drop down: When you import a CD..but I am not importing a CD, just a few files. But there is no other place I can do this for single files or a folder.
Thanks but no thanks.
Have a good day. Maybe the folks that rated you actually got help from you which is completely reasonable.

Converting .wav files to mp3 format.

You are converting the WAV files to mp3 format before transferring them to the iPod?
You're using iTunes to do this?
Just for the record, the iPod will not play mp3 files below a bit rate of 32kbps nor will it play compressed WAV files.

Conversion to MP3 format

Hey all,
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to convert the entire library to MP3 format without having a copy of each song (i.e. one in each format)?
Thanks.
Windows XP iTunes 7

>Can anyone tell me if there is a way to convert the entire library to MP3 format without having a copy of each song (i.e. one in each format)?
There isn't with iTunes.
You can, of course, delete the original files if you so desire after converting.

Is there an audible loss of quality when converting from WMA to MP3/AAC?

Just wondering when I convert my WMA files to MP3 or AAC using EasyWMA, iTunes for WIndows, Switch or whatever, will there be an audible loss of quality in the conversion?
Thanks.

There is always an audio quality degradetion while converting a compressed file from one codec to another. It may not be significant for everybody tough.
To avoid this degradation, you should compress your file from the original instead of passing from one codec to another.
