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.

  • HELPPPP!! need converter from  mp4 to mp3 or wave

    Does anybody knows how find converter for mp4 to mp3, wav, or anything that readable for the car cd player?
    Thanks

    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.)

    Hope this helps.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • CONVERTING FROM ITUNES MP4 TO MP3, WMA E.T.C.  ....How do you do it?

    How do i convert my MP4's to MP3, WMA e.t.c. with itunes, so i can play the music i purchase, on my Archos, or other MP3 player.
    ps sorry for the capital letters,

    No, with protected files the only thing you can do is use iTunes and iPods. Burning them to CDs doesn't erase the copy protection. Nor can you transfer them to SD cards and get them to play on a phone or anything. Protected files are just that, totally locked. There are programs out there that advertise being able to break that protection, but so far none of the ones I tried did anything except corrupt the file so that even iTunes wouldn't play it.

  • I know how to convert WMA to AAC/MP3 for Itunes

    I'm not sure if someone else has figured this out or not, but I figured out how to convert WMA files to AAC or MP3 for Itunes. First open the file using Quicktime. I think you need the Flip4Mac program. I'm not sure and you also need Quicktime pro. Choose Save. Select standalone movie. Choose location. It will convert song to movie, then import all your movies you selected. Organize Itunes by "Kind". Select all of your new movies files. Choose Advanced and convert to your appropriate file type.
    I looked for a while and couldn't find a good way to change wma to aac. This takes a little bit, but it works. What do you think? It works for me.

    Or, as has been pointed out in numerous posts, you can use EasyWMA.

  • How to convert iTunes (9.1.1) from AAC to MP3 for SansaDisk Fuze+?

    I want to download iTunes to Sansadisk Fuze+  using PowerBook G4 OS10.4.11 and iTunes 9.1.1
    There is no option to convert from AAC to MP3.  The files are encoded with iTunes 8.1 which does not offer an option to convert files.

    Never mind.  I found what I need.

  • 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.

  • How to convert .mov files to MP3?

    I am recording an entire book for someone who can't read. I'm using Quicktime Pro to do the recording. I want to burn a CD for her that she'll be able to play on any old CD player. How do I converrt the .mov files to MP3 or other usable format?

    Itunes preferences > Advanced Tab > Importing Tab > Import Using Drop Down Menu
    However as Kirk said it's pointless converting your files to mp3 if there going on to CD. This means you will compress the files, lose quality and they will then have to be reconverted to be burnt to CD. You would be better off exporting straight out of QT Pro as AIFF, this way you will not lose quality. You can then burn from iTunes toast etc no probs at all using this format.
    Cheers

  • 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*.

  • 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.

  • Urgent How to convert wav files into mp3?

    Can anyone plz tell me how can i convert wav file into mp3 using JMF? tell me any sample programme, any method in JMF........ help me plz

    Examples could be found on the JMF Solutions page.
    Only I can say about mp3 through network - it's hardly possible. I recommend GSM for compression2transmit. It could be used via GSM content descriptor. I'm not sure, but I suppose MP3 is supported only for files, there's no MP3.RTP or such (if you want to transmit files, it should not cause any problems).
    About JavaSound - it does not matter... You still need JMF to be installed on Client, and AppletCapture to be enabled. Futrher - would it be DirectSound, JavaSound, or anything else - just the deal of JMF.
    I tried to use JavaSound capture with proceeding AudioInputStream to JMF, but failed to do this.
    About your problem - best solution seems like that:
    capture sound
    put it into processor
    set format to GSM
    transmit
    so then, server receives it and formats it as it likes.
    If you want to transmit exactly files, you should use just some of pure java after capturing. java.net, or such thing.

  • 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.
