How do I copy my iTunes library to a USB flash drive in a compatible MP3 format?

I know it is as easy as clicking and dragging but my car stereo only supports only MP3 files. About half of my iTunes library is in that format (because I downloaded from an external source; Amazon, Datpiff, etc. but a lot of them that i copyed to iTunes from a disc or purchased from the store are in MPEG format. How can I convert them ALL to MP3? Is there an external program perhaps?

Drag the entire itunes folder to the drive

  • How do I copy my iTunes library to an external hard drive?

    I´d like to copy (note: copy NOT export) my iTunes library to an external hard drive but I just can´t figure out how! It says that the external hard drive can not be changed, therefor I can not drag and drop the iTunes files to it. The external hard drive is called iXternal (80GB). Please help, I´m on a tight dead line!

    Select the external drive on the desktop and Get Info (Command-I).
    At 'Ownership & Permissions:', click on the small triangle till it points down.
    Verify that 'You can Read & Write'.
    You should also see a checkbox 'Ignore ownership on this volume'.
    If it is not checked, check it.
    Hope this helps.

  • How Can I Back Up My iTunes Library To A USB Flash Drive?

    I have around 5GB of files in my iTunes Library and I don't want to have to use multiple blank cds (dvds) to get my files onto my new iMac. On top of that I can't my cd-writer doesn't work. So I bought an 8GB USB Flash Drive and I just want to know how I can get my iTunes Library to back up to my USB Flash Drive.

    Is all your music, as well as your iTunes folder, in My Music? If so, copy your My Music folder to the drive. That will back up all the songs, and the iTunes library files, which happen to be located in iTunes/iTunesMusic.
    In case you are asking how to copy: Close iTunes. Insert the USB drive into the machine and open it like a folder. Then you can use drag and drop to put stuff in it.

  • How do I copy my entire iTunes library to a USB Flash Drive?!

    I'm trying to copy my iTunes Music Library to a Flash Drive, and having difficulties copying the entire library to the flash drive.
    Any help?!

    How big is the flash drive? How big is the iTunes folder? If there is enough room it should just be a case of copying the folder from <User's Music> to the flash drive.

  • How do I put my iTunes library on to a flash drive?

    I am about to get a laptop (Dell, not sure which kind, Windows 7) and want to transfer my iTunes library from my old piece of **** desktop (XP) to said laptop. I don't feel like doing it with 10 or 11 cd's (my library takes up about 7.41 GB) and want to know how I can get my library (actual audio files AND song info!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) on to a, say 8 GB flash drive to transfer it to the laptop. Thanks.

    Right-click any song, locate it, navigate up until you come to the iTunes folder, and move that. This will not transfer iTunes Store authorization or rented movies.

  • How can I copy my iTunes library with playcount information to a new computer?!?

    Hello,
    I'm about to get a new computer. I have all my music on a external HD, so I won't have problems preserving my music. But I would like to preserve other information too. Especially the play count information. I think it's interesting how my top 25-most-played looks like, and the play count list I have now, took me 2 years to get.
    So my question is: Does anyone know how I can copy my iTunes library with all its information (play count, rating, comments, images, last played date etc.) to a new computer?
    Thanks a lot!

    Connect the external HDD to the iMac, launch iTunes while holding down the Option key. Choose the option to select library and navigate to the top level folder of the iTunes media on the external. Select it and click OK.

  • How do I combine an iTunes library on an external hard drive (laptop) with an iTunes library on an external hard drive on my PC?

    How can I combine the iTunes library on an external hard drive (hooked to laptop) with  the iTunes library on an external hard drive (hooked to PC) so that both external HD's and both laptop and PC have all the music on each one?

    no need to create a secondary library - too troublesome, IMHO. you can spread your library over as many drives you can connect to your Mac (wired or wirelessly):
    iTunes > preferences > advanced.
    point iTunes media folder location to the external
    on the same tab, ensure the copy files ... when adding option is checkmarked
    okay out of preferences
    highlight the content to be moved in iTunes and right-click
    select consolidate files from the pop-up menu
    wait for the process to finish
    when done, you may delete the original files from your boot drive.
    alternatively, you could move the whole shabang to the external HD:
    copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music or media folder) from <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music to the external, launch iTunes while holding the option(⌥) key, click on choose library when prompted, and select the iTunes folder you copied to the external.
    when done, be sure to point iTunes media folder location to the external so that new additions to your library will be put there. also, you need to make sure the external is mounted on your desktop before you fire up iTunes.
