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 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 do i convert protected AAC files to MP3 files on a Mac

How do i convert protected AAC files to MP3 files on a Mac?

There has to be another way.
No, there isn't.
You can use a CD-RW instead of CD-R.
It will not play on most CD-players, but should play fine on your computer.

Importing WAV files as MP3 files Macbook?

I got the digital download of Dragon Age Inquisition's soundtrack but it came as a WAV file. When I go to iTunes settings, under general it just has import settings for CDs not files. It has 'When CD is inserted: ()' and then import settings next to that, which only modifies what it does for CDs.
This is probably a stupid question, but all of the things I've seen haven't addressed this and so I can't figure out where it is or what I should be doing.
<Image Edited by Host to Remove Personal Information>

I can't find the 'Import Using' menu under the General settings. The only import options are for CDs, not how to convert files which is what I'm trying to do. I just need to know where that function is so I can convert the WAV files to MP3 files.

Clare,
You can use iTunes to convert the file to MP3:
iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format
For future reference, rather than buying songs in the wrong format and converting them, you will find it easier to buy songs in MP3 in the first place, at an online retailer such as Amazon MP3.

Should I convert all my iTunes MP3 files to AAC?

Somehow, I only learned about the advantages of the AAC format a few days ago--despite getting my first Apple computer way back in 1984.
Would it make sense to convert all 80 GB of my iTunes MP3 files to AAC in order so save disk space in my backup before migrating to Yosemite?
Thanks again everybody for all your great help and suggestions.

No. If you originally got them from CDs, you can reimport them as AAC if desired.

Converting .wav files to .mp3 files in Adobe Audition 3

I am trying to save a .wav file as an mp3. file. When I go to Save As and click on file type/Mp3, it asks me if I want to overwrite the current .wav file. When I say yes, it saves it as a .wav file. How do get it to save as a .mp3 file? I'm certain that there is an easy way to do this, but I'm missing it. Any help from this knowledgeable forum would be most appreciated.
thanks
dk

Next time you want to save as an MP3, type the full name of the file you want to save with the full extension in the file name box - so that would be {yourfile}.mp3. This will reset the default save to the correct extension.

Convert mp4 format to mp3,wmv,etc in nokia mobile

Hey, i'm using a nokia 7230 mobile handset, which doesn't support mp4 vedios which i download from the internet. I hate connecting my phone to the computer just to convert the vedios and back.. So is there an app i can download to convert mp4 vedios in the handset, so i can stream it....

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.

.wav file to mp3 file ????

My songs are in .wav files and need to be in mp3 files. Does anyone know how to do this? I burned CD's in Roxio CD Creator and saved the files - which Roxio converted to .wav
They are not compressed enough and my IPOD will only hold 42 songs.

From iTunes help:
To convert a song's file format:
1.Choose iTunes > Preferences, then click the Advanced button at the top of the window and click Importing.
2.From the Import Using pop-up menu, choose the encoding format that you want to convert the song to, then click OK to save the settings.
3.Select one or more songs in your library, then choose Advanced > Convert Selection to MP3, Convert Selection to AAC, Convert Selection to Apple Lossless, Convert Selection to AIFF, or Convert Selection to WAV. (The menu item changes to show what's selected in your Importing preferences.)
To convert all the songs in a folder or on a disk, hold down the Option key and choose Advanced > "Convert Selection to," then choose the folder or disk containing the songs you want to convert. All the songs in the folder or on the disk will be converted except songs you purchased from the Music Store. (Purchased songs are encoded using a protected AAC format that prevents them from being converted.)
Hope that helps.

Mpeg-files to mp3-files

I have imported MPEG-files to itunes. Now I would like to convert them into mp3-files in order to use them in my ipod, how can I do that? I tried several ways but it doesn't seem to work out well.
Please help me, I don't have time to import the music all over again befor my vacation!
Thank you!

If you have imported the mpegs into iTunes, and they will play there, you need only select the files you wish to convert, click Advanced, and choose Convert to MP3 (you'll need to select MP3 as the format for importing from CD first, from the iTunes preferences, under Advanced, and Importing, or it won't be an option in the Advanced menu).

AAC files and MP3 Files

I would like to know if there is an easier way to seperate my AAC file and My MP3 files. When I convert my AAC files to MP3s Itunes puts them in the same folder. So when I go to my Itunes music folder both MP3 and AAC are in the same folder. I was wondering if there was a way I could send my MP3 files to an external hard drive after I convert them from AACs. My hard drive on my computer won't hold all of them so I would have to do it in stages. I wish I could make them go to the external hard drive as soon as they are converted. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I thought about moving the whole folder to the external hard drive, but I would still have to seperate them. thanks

bwchas,
- Do whatever conversions you wish. Make sure you understand the potential quality loss issue mentioned by Co-Jeff.
- In your iTunes library, sort by "Kind." If Kind is not showing, go to View > Options and make sure it is checked (ticked).
- You will now see all the AACs together and all the mp3s together. Chose the ones you want to copy and highlight them. Then do Edit > Copy.
- Go to the folder in your hard drive and right-click and "Paste."
- Anything you don't still want on your main hard drive, delete it.
I assume you are talking about unprotected AAC files. If not, step 1 will not work.
