You should be able to use iTunes to convert your music to a different file format.
*To convert a song's file format:
Choose iTunes > Preferences, then click the Advanced button at the top of the window and click Importing.
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.
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 iTunes Store. (Purchased songs are encoded using a protected AAC format that prevents them from being converted.)
*reference: iTunes Help
Hope this helps.

  • Error message when converting from mp4 to mp3

    Three songs I just purchased won't convert from mp4 to mp3, although all of the other songs--including one from the same album these 3 are from--converted just fine. I keep getting "an unknown error occurred" message. How can I convert these 3 songs? Should I exit the iTunes store and reload it (in effect rebooting the store)? Or what?

    Purchase only iTunes Plus songs, change the default encoder in iTunes to MP3 from the General section of its preferences, right-click the songs, and change them to MP3.

  • Files converted from m4a to mp3 are not displaying correctly in feed

    hi; i recently produced my first show in garageband (after using a bunch of other audio apps in the past), exported to an m4a file, and converted to mp3 in itunes, but it is not showing up as an audio file in my feed.
    the feed is http://feeds.feedburner.com/wellroundedradio and my blog posting on it is http://wellroundedmedia.blogspot.com
    is there something you need to do when converting from m4a to mp3 in itunes to make sure the settings are all correct so it will be enclosed as an audio file? i have tested other mp3 files in the feed and they are working fine.
    thx, charlie

    thanks. yes, i think that's what has been so tricky about this. i add a link to an mp3 in blogger, but feedburner doesn't add this particular show as an enclosure, so it's not updating in the feed. can't seem to find where the origin of the problem, though...is it blogger, feedburner, or the mp3 file or...?

  • How to convert AMR files into MP3 or WAV?

    Hello,
    I'm not sure if that's the right place to ask, but I couldn't find any more suitable one, so...
    Can anyone recommend a nice convenient application to convert my phone's recordings from AMR format to MP3 or WAV - eg. something I can conveniently listen to on my PC?
    Thanks in advance!

    Many of my friends recommend iDealshare VideoGo to convert AMR files to MP3 or WAV.
    Today i just have a try, and find it really works great in converting AMR to MP3, WAV, WMA, AAC, AIFF etc with high audio quality.
    what i like prefer is its drag and drop fuction and batch conversion fuction.
    Here is the step by step guide at How to Convert AMR to MP3, WAV?
    Hope it also helps for you.

  • Converting podcast from mp4 to mp3

    How do i convert an mp4 podcast to mp3 so i can listen or see it on my mp3 player?

    Hhmm! I'm not sure that's correct Roger. MP4 is (usually) a video Podcast, and the option to convert to AAC (which is audio only) will not be available. (I've just checked it.)
    I'm not expert with all the variations of mp4 or other video formats, but the mp4 (Podcast) I have in my iTunes will play on my iPod Touch 2G. So the mp4 that the OP is referring to should load onto his/her iPod, assuming that he/she is using an iPod (mention of mp3 player). If it doesn't, there will be a message at Sync saying that the movie <name> has not been added to the iPod because it cannot be played on this iPod.
    So, (to the original poster), was there a message about that Podcast? If not, it is probably on the iPod but under a different title to the one you think it should be. So rather than looking for the episode title, you need to check the "Podcast series" title. Alternatively, use the search facility on the iPod to look for the episode.
    There is an option in iTunes to convert a video to an iPod version, look under *Advanced/Create iPod or iPhone version,* but it's a tedious process that doesn't always work.

  • Why won't my playlists convert from aac to mp3

    Hi,
    Never had to use the forum before as I've always previosuly been able to figure most stuff out that I needed to do, but I recently converted my whole music library from AAC format to MP3 (so that I can burn an MP3 disc to play in my car) with no problem using the "Advanced" tab and "Convert to MP3 format" tab.
    (I've also changed my settings now so that all downloads are set to MP3 as well to stop this happening ever again!.)
    However, I then tried to do the same for my playlists, but it just doesn't work for those using the "Convert to MP3 format" facility - even though it doers actually give the impression of doing so. i.e. It appears to be converting the songs and I even get a confimation tone when it's suppossedly finished converting the playlist, but the playlist still shows it's "Kind" as AAC,  and hasn't converted it at all!
    The only way that I can find to do it is to delete the playlist (after printing out a copy of the playlist) and then manually re-creating the whole playlist again by dragging each song individually from the library! Which I obviously don't really want to do as I've got a lot of playlists and that would be very laborious and would quite frankly be a ridiclous thing to have to do again (especially after doing it already for the library).
    Am I missing something here, expecting too much or just being thick?? Any one have a solution for this please?

    Thank you, absolutely brilliant, I knew there had to be an easier way to do this!!! And also thank you so much for the really quick response too!
    It took me less than a minute to do this for the first playlist and I'll now easily be able to do the same for all the other playlists - saving me potentially hours if I'd had to do it using the other way.
    In case anyone is unaware, there is one further little tip once you have converted the playlist from AAC to MP3 and sorted by "Date Added". Press and hold Shift, then highlight (the first song) and scroll to the last song (which will then highlight all the songs that you've just converted) and then simply drag them to a new playlist - voila, job done!

  • How can i convert from alac to mp3 and export to artist/album hierarchy

    I am trying to populate a 32GB SD Card with music to listen to in my car.  My itunes library is largely in apple lossless format, but the car stereo does not play that format.
    I have created a playlist of all of the music I'd like to have on the SD Card (but its in apple lossless format).
    So what I'd like to do is:
    a)     Bulk convert a large number of apple lossless files to MP3.
    b)     Export the MP3 files to an external Finder folder, organized in Artist/Album hierarchy
    c)     Delete the MP3 files from the itunes library so as to have just the apple lossless version maintain in the itunes library
    Sounds pretty simple, but I'm having a devil of a time trying to figure it out.
    I can find a way to do the conversion and export the MP3 files (and subsequently deleted from the itunes library), but they will not be organized by Artist/Album in the Finder folder.
    Similarly, I can export a bunch of files from itunes to a Finder folder and have it be organized by Artist/Album.
    I just can't do one followed by the other.
    I suppose this would also work if instead of exporting the newly created MP3 files, it would establish a new playlist in itunes with these.  Then, I could just export them and have them then organized by Artist/Album; and then I could delete all of the MP3 files in the playlist.
    Any thoughts or ideas on how to accomplish this goal?  (I do know the manual way of doing this, but am trying to figure out a faster, more elegant way).
    M

    I ask because you wrote, "I just can't do one followed by the other".
    You can. Just do one followed by the other.
    Convert the files to mp3.
    Put them all into a playlist.  A smart playlist with Kind is MP3 and added in last one day will do it for you.
    Select the songs in teh smart playlist
    Run Export to Album Folders script.
    Select all the songs in the playlist then Command Delete to remove them from iTunes.

  • QT errors when converting from mp4 to wma

    Hi there.
    I need to convert several mp4 files to WMA for an online class I'm teaching. I have QT Pro and do an export of the movie to Windows Media but it only converts part (the first 30-60 seconds) of the file. How do I convert the whole thing?
    Thank you!

    Spend some money on one of the upgrades as you are only using the "trial" version of that third party software.
    QuickTime Pro can't create WMP formats without it.

  • How to convert itunes mp4 to mp3

    how to convert itunes mp4 to mp3

    So I'm being exact. You cannot "convert" a video file (with audio), to audio only.
    You can extract the audio, or record the audio into an audio programme etc. as a way of obtaining the audio only. But convert... no.
    I answered the question. I also asked the OP to give further information, so that we could possibly provide a suitable solution. After all, as lllaass has suggested, perhaps the OP wants to make a ringtone.

  • Change existing song from mp4 to mp3, for another mp3 from ipod

    How do I change an existing mp4 into mp3 to use in another mp3 player or phone.

    If by any chance you mean "m4p" rather than "mp4" be aware that the m4p's are protected with DRM that prevents conversion.

  • 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
    Message was edited by: Andy Faizey

    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.

  • How do i change songs from mp4 to mp3

    Hi i hope some can help because i'm getting stressed out. I new to i tunes and have recently bought some music from i tunes store. I am trying to copy them to cd which as intrustions tell you how too, but when i try to play the cd it wont work beacuse its a mp4 file, i'm wondering how to change over my songs to mp3 format so they will work when copied to cd
    any help will be greatful
    thanks nicky

    Most music in the iTunes store is m4p - DRM protected. You cannot convert this but you can burn it to an *Audio CD* which can be used as you would any other.
    iTunes plus tracks can be converted, but you would only want to do that if you want to play them on a player that will not play AAC.
