Converting Itune Songs to MP3

I have purchased a Bass Guitar Trainer onto which I can load the songs I am trying to learn and it helps me to learn them. The problem they must be MP3's. Most of the songs I need to learn are in Itunes and the its format. I need to know how to change them so I can transfer them to my new device. Please help this has driven me nuts all day!

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 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,

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

If they are iTunes Plus songs (purchased since 2009) you can convert them to MP3 by following these instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550
Note that the conversion process will create a new MP3 and leave the original AAC in place, so make sure you are using the new one for your player.
If you have any "protected" iTunes song files, you need to first upgrade them to iTunes Plus, and then do the conversion.

Steps to convert a song to mp3

Hello
I need the steps to convert the songs that I purchased into mp3, I've already burned them into a cd and I will import them, so what I need it is to know what do I do next.
Note: I want to convert my purchased song into an audible cd.
Thank you!

From the sound of it, you may have simply burned a data CD containing your .m4p files. This is great for backup purposes, but if you want to do anything else with the files, you would first need to burn a playlist containing purchased music to audio CD. To do this, be sure to go to iTunes > Preferences > Advanced, and click the Burning tab. From there, make sure the Disc Format is set to Audio CD (I would also set the Gap Between Songs to "none"). Now, you can burn an audio CD from the playlist containing purchased music.
Once you have your audio CD, you can import it into iTunes any way you like, but if your goal is simply to have an audio CD you can play anywhere, you've already accomplished that.
When you use the word "audible," it makes me wonder if you're talking about an audio book. In this case, you may need to do something else, but I would first need to know if that's what you mean--rather than just a CD that's audible (that you can hear).
If you want to import the contents of your audio CD into iTunes as MP3 files, as implied by the subject line of your post, you would just need to go to iTunes > Preferences > Advanced, click on the Importing tab, and choose MP3 Encoder from the Import Using drop-down list. Note that you can fine-tune your MP3 encoding preferences if you like. Once that's taken care of, you would simply import the CD into iTunes as usual.

How Do I Convert iTunes Songs to .wav files

Is there any way to convert iTunes downloaded music to .wav format so they can be used in Adobe Photoshop?

If your purchases are the new DRM free files from EMI, simply change your import preferences to mp3, then right click on the song you wish to convert, then click on "convert to".
If the purchase is not one of the new files, you can burn your purchase to an audio CD, that audio CD can be used like any CD you might purchase at your local store.

Converting iTunes music to MP3 and/or WMA format

Have a bunch of music (99% of which was originally loaded from my CD library) in iTunes on my Laptop. I periodically sync that with my iPod Touch 3rd Gen. Question: Can a portion of this music be converted from iTunes to MP3 or WMA format? My car can play music from an SDHC Card but the format has to be one or the other only. How do I achieve this? Your time and specific suggestions/solutions are very much appreciated.

Hey Ed2345;
Followed the instructions to convert songs to MP3. Quite cumbersome. You would think Apple would have detailed instructions on how to keep the different formated songs separated, filed or whatever would be best to manage them. Not sure if I need to create a separate playlist for them or library and how? I tried to export a playlist of 16 converted songs to an SDHC card. Thought I did but when I put it into the car stereo, nothing happens! Wow, I may as well give up. Would you be so kind as to possibly help? Your time and efforts appreciated. Joe
Gruntvet,
After the conversions have completed, put your Music library in Songs view, and sort by "Date Added." All of your newly created MP3s will be together at the top.
From there, you can just drag them to the SD card.

Convert iTunes m4p to mp3 - legally strip DRM?

So, I bought some songs off iTunes that are DRM protected (m4p) back when iTunes was using the DRM protection. Now they don't. Is there any way to freely and easily convert the songs I did buy when that was happening to mp3 so I can use and play them elsewhere like in the cloud or on my phone, etc?

which is why I said "legal"
it really lame to have bought some iTunes music, years later want to move it to more modern and devleoping methods of listening - something other than an iPod essentially - and I cannot. I DID pay for it afterall.
And techinally speaking, I have always understood that for private & personal use you can legallly strip any DRM out. As long as you do not sell it or give it out or disseminate it, you should be good to go for personal use. Again, I did buy it and pay for it - just like I did buy and pay for music since then that is not DRM protected - so should be able to put it on any music device I see fit... and I cannot. Thus, I think what I am asking for is not illegal, bad, or breaks any rules.

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.
