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.

  • 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 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.

  • Converting iTunes music to MP3 or another format

    I puchased an iTunes Plus song from the store. The iTunes help says it can be converted by choosing Edit > Preferences, click Advanced and clicking Importing. Unforunately I don't have an Importing tab on my iTunes. I am running the latest version of iTunes (8.0.2) per the Check for Updates function. Any ideas as to how to convert to another format?

    The article is outdated and has not been updated.
    In iTunes 7, *Import Settings* were on the Advanced tab.
    In iTunes 8, *Import Settings* were moved to the General tab and click the *Import Settings* button.
    Once you change the *Import Settings* on the General tab, select the songs you want to convert.
    Then as noted, right click on the songs and select *Create MP3 version*. Or go to the iTunes menu Advanced and select *Create MP3 version*.

  • 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.

  • Converting iTunes music to mp3

    I know that there are a lot of converters out there and many are free. I am new to the Mac world and I am wondering what programs are best, easy to use, or can be used with other Mac software? If you have any please let me know. I'd prefer free but will purchase if I have to so I can avoid virus, etc.
    Thanks

    You can do it perfectly well in iTunes.
    1. Go to iTunes Preferences>General and click the 'Import settings' button.
    2. Choose 'MP3 Encoder' in the 'Import Settings' menu and use the 'Settings' menu to choose your bitrate as required.
    3. Go to your Library and select the files you want to convert.
    4. From the 'Advanced' menus choose 'Create MP3 version'
    Duplicate copies of the files will be created. You can drag these to the Desktop or a folder if you want to export them, and delete either these or the AAC versions as required in iTunes (note that you have to specifiy to remove them from the Library or they will remain on the hard disk though not visible in the Library display).
    Note that this Preference setting also affects the format of files ripped from a CD.

  • 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.

  • Export Itunes music to MP3

    Is it possible to export Itunes music to MP3 files? If so, what is the process to do this from Itunes. Thanks.
    Mufutau

    I thought that was for importing?
    It's not just for importing. The import setting controls the format available for the convert option. Once converted, move the MP3 files as needed; their location can be found by right-clicking them.

  • Transferring my music to mp3 format

    Hi Guys
    I really hope everyone does not think im stupid, well i am a little when it comes to technology stuff.
    I have loads of CD,s that i want to put on my iphone, i did this and it seems i will need loads and loads more space,( i dont know anything about the technical terms of iphone memory)
    Someone mentioned to me that if i put allthe music on my itunes library in mp3 format this would give me alot of space. is this correct?
    If so can i please have the step by step (in normal english, not pc terms)
    I would be most grateful if you take the time to help
    regards

    To choose import options:
    Choose iTunes > Preferences, click General, and click Import Settings.
    Choose an encoder from the Import Using pop-up menu. Then choose an import setting using the next pop-up menu. The default setting for the AAC encoder is "iTunes Plus". If you change that to "High quality (128 kbps)" your imports will only use half the space.
    AAC-encoded files rival the quality of audio CDs, and sound as good as or better than MP3 files encoded at the same or even a higher bit rate. For example, a 128 Kbps AAC file should sound as good as or better than a 160 Kbps MP3 file. Because the bit rate is lower, the AAC file will also be smaller than the MP3 file. AAC files enable you to store the most music on your hard disk or iPod.

    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.
