Converting Downloads to an MP3 format

Hi,
I use Creative MediaSource and MusicMatch Jukebox to manage my libraries but when I download from Itunes - the songs do not come down as an MP3 format and I cannot convert the files. Can anyone help with this issue.
I do not have an Ipod but a Creatve Zen Touch.
Thanks so much

hello,
songs downloaded with itunes can only by read with an ipod. to read them with a creative , you have to transfer itunes songs to an audio cd or an mp3 cd. (there is a function for that in itunes).
then you'll be able to import songs from the cd with your creative organizer software.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • HT5731 How do I download music in ".mp3" format instead of (default?) ".m4a??

    How do I download music in ".mp3" format instead of (default?) ".m4a??

    There is no option to do this from the iTunes Store. Either convert them to MP3 after downloading them, or use a non-Apple store such as Amazon's.

  • 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

  • Can't convert my itunes to mp3 format for my LYRA MP3 player

    I purchashed a mp3 player for my son. We have approximately 177 itunes I have purchased in my library. I can not convert them to mp3 format so I can download on player. Dialog box reads "files are protected and format can not be changed". Please help. I have paid for these tunes and would hate to do so again.

    I'm not sure I completely follow what it is you are trying to do, but it strikes me you're making it more complicated than need be.
    iTunes imports files in the format set in your preferences.  If you want to import as other than mp3 then set the other format in your preferences.
    iTunes is also set by default to put a copy of tracks you add into your iTunes folder.  You can unset this in preferences (I have this unset) but most people don't because it kind of messes up file management.  You can also temporarily disable it for files you are dragging to iTunes by holding the option key.  If you use iTunes for converting it will add them to iTunes - that's the way it behaves. I often use non-iTunes applications such as Max or XLD for doing my conversions (you also get to use the LAME codec for mp3 which some consider better than iTunes).
    You can add a column to your lists display which is format, or just go by the file size or bit rate display columns.  While not definitive, I can usually depend upon files saying 128k bitrate or 3 MB in size to be mp3 (I have almost no AAC tracks) vs. AIFFwhich would have much higher bitrate and much bigger files.
    If you have mp3 files and want to put them on a flash drive, highlight the items you want to add (it could be a whole playlist) and drag this from the iTunes window to the flash drive in a Finder window.

  • Downloading files in mp3 format

    I am a novice at this. I have an mp3 player, but not an ipod. Can I download files from the itunes store in mp3 format so that I can play them on my mp3 player?
    I downloaded one file from the itunes store. However, It won't work in the format that it is in. Please help. I really want to buy music but I need it in the format that i require.

    Sorry, songs downloaded from the iTunes store are available in Protected AAC format only, which means that they are only playable on your PC and iPods. Another alternative would be to burn the downloaded song to a CD and then re-rip it as an MP3. You'd lose some quality, but at least it would be playable on your player.

  • Converting .wav files to mp3 format.

    Hi,
            I am trying to convert a wav file into mp3 format using the below code. I am not seeing any errors in the console but at the same time the mp3 file is created without any content. Any ideas on how to address this issue ?
      Format[] FORMATS = new Format[] { new AudioFormat(
      AudioFormat.LINEAR) };
      String srcFilePath = "C:" + File.separator + "Users"

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Since I updated my itunes I can't burn a disc in MP3 format.  I converted the list to MP3 but it still won't burn., Since I updated my itunes I can't burn a disc in MP3 format.  I converted the list to MP3 but it still won't burn.

    Since I updated my itunes I can no longer burn a playlist to disc using MP3 format.  I clicked on converting the songs to mp3 format but they still won't burn to disc.  The computer says it is checking media and then stops.

    same problem. Im using itunes version 10.6.3, I converted wavs burnt from cd, to mp3 using itunes, these were  NOT PURCHASED from itunes, and when I try to burn an mp3 cd using the new mp3 files, they convert to wavs before my eyes every time i create a new playlist of the mp3. The mp3 revert to wav within less than 30 seconds. As if itunes is saying, let me help, I substitute the higher quality 1411 wav files for you. And of course, now they wont burn to mp3, because "they must be converted to mp3 first" before burning.
    But every list of the mp3 version of the files keeps reverting to 1411 wav files?
    WHats going on? Thanks

  • 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?
