The normal situation would be wanting to convert .m4a (AAC or Apple Lossless) to .mp3 as these are both music file formats. The extension .mp4 is normally for a video file and iTunes itself will only convert music files from one format to another.
For details on how to convert between music formats see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1550
If you want to convert the audio track of an .mp4 video to a .mp3 file then you are going to need to use a different utility.

How to convert AAC to MP3 in iTunes

I sent a friend of mine a song in the AAC format; I had thought that format was universally acceptable. Unfortunately, my friend said that she couldn't open the file. I then thought of converting the file to the MP3 format, because I know she can read that. This gets to my question: How do you do it? When I highlighted the song and clicked on Advanced, the only option was to convert to AAC. That's when I decided to come here. Is there a way to convert AAC to MP3 with iTunes? Also, how widespread is the acceptance of AAC?

You got the process correct, it
is just that iTunes only offers you the option to
convert to whatever your preferences are currently
set to for importing.
So go to preferences, importing, set it to MP3. then
go to your song and you can now use the "Convert
to..." option which should show MP3. Once done, go
back to preferences and switch back to AAC if that is
what you normally want to use.

That was fast. Anyway, it worked. Thanks for your help. Now, all I have to do is to work-out what combination of factors I should use to obtain the smallest possible MP3 file while maintaining decent quality. It's an individual decision. What would be okay for me, might be intolerable to others, but I want to keep all sound files less than 1 MB. Make that, "all sound files that I send". I hope that doesn't mean that I will have to keep duplicate files. We'll just have to see. Anyway, thanks again.

How to convert MP4 to MP3 for export

I want to convert an MP4 file in my iTunes library to MP3 for export via email. I know how to convert a CD on import by the preferences settings. And I know I can burn an MP3 CD. I just want to take a simgle MP4 file in my library, and convert it to MP3 in order to share with someone who can't read MP4.

Ah so that's how it works.
I understand now. Thanks.

Converting Mp4 to MP3 in iTunes 9

I cannot figure out how to do this in iTunes 9. The "import" button on the advance tab or preferences is no longer there so I cannot select the MP3 option for importing either. Did it get moved?

Yes. It's now found in the iTunes Preferences "General" tab. Click the "Import Settings..." button.

You'll need to adjust your import settings to mp3 first. For instructions, see the following document:

When converting song to MP3 in itunes you lose the file

When I am converting songs to MP3 in itunes it just disapears, I can't find it when I search in songs. So far I hate the new Itunes, becaue it's filled with bugs like this.

When I convert a song (bit rate or M4P-to-MP3), it saves the new version in the itunes media folder. I can't remember how to make it duplicate in the original album folder so I can judt delete the original song version without having to cut/paste the new song version.
Any help?
If you use iTunes as your conversion tool, it gives you no choice about where to place the converted file; it simply puts it into iTunesMedia/Music/Artist/Album, no matter where the original is.
Your choices are to either let iTunes do the conversion and then deal with the results manually, or else to use a different conversion tool, such as Switch, that allows you to select where to place the new file.

How to convert MP4 on iTunes to MP3 or WAV for Windows Media Player?

I have purchased lots of audio books online, but until recently had not purchased much music. I recently purchased an album, and it downloaded nicely into iTunes, and of course I can access it on my 80 gig iPod. But when I tried to move a copy into Windows Media Player so I could copy it into a little MP3 player that I bought for special use, I found that I could not get a copy to convert. DOes anybody know how I can convert a Store purchase from MP4 to MP3 or WAV file for use with Windows Media Player?

+"I recently purchased an album... so I could copy it into a little MP3 player..."+
You shopped at the wrong place. The iTunes Music Store does not sell (and has never sold) anything in MP3 format. If you want MP3s for your MP3 player, shop at online stores that sell MP3s, such as amazon.com.
As for any iTunes DRM-encumbered tracks you are already stuck with, take Zevoneer's advice and use iTunes to burn them to an audio CD.

How to convert lossless audio files in itunes to AAC or mp3 in itunes 10

i noticed some files won't upload to my kids older ipod shuffle (2nd). they are the larger less or uncompressed file types.

This explains how to covert song files. It works in iTunes 10. You set the import preference to the file type you want and the Advanced menu > Create XXX Version will change to match.

How to convert .mp4 or .flv to mp3?

I've been searching for Mac software that lets me convert mp4 or flv files to mp3, but I can't seem to find any at all. I know of some that work on windows, but since I have a macbook pro I want a program that works on it.
It doesn't have to be free, I don't mind paying for the software if it actually works...So if anyone knows of anything please let me know. Thanks in advance!

I use iSquint to convert the .flv to .mp4.
Then AudioExtract to rip the audio off (in AIFF format).
I add the new file to iTunes and convert it to .mp3, sometimes.
It's all freeware, but it'll ask you every time to donate or purchase.
There are no restrictions on iSquint.
There is a 3 file limit on AudioExtract. But all you have to do is quit after the first one and open it again.
Before I had AudioExtract, I'd import the .mp4 into iMovie and put in in a movie file and extract audio that way.

Need to convert mp4 to mp3

Itunes will let you convert songs in your iTunes library to another format. When you convert a song in iTunes it will be converted to the format that you have set to import your CDs in. Converting creates a second copy of the song in the format you have chosen which gives you the opportunity to either keep or delete the original. If you are using iTunes 8 go to Edit>Preferences>General and click on Import Settings, change your option to MP3 for example. Go back to your library and highlight the songs you want to convert and go to the Advanced menu at the top of your iTunes window and choose "Create MP3 version": iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format
One exception to this are standard 128kbps AAC copy protected songs purchased from the iTunes Music Store which can't be directly converted due to the DRM (Digital Rights Management) copy protection. However you can burn these to an Audio CD which will work like any regular CD.
Hello Zevoneer! Thanks for your contribution. May I ask how one can 'Set QT Player as standard program for WMA files'?

Converting mp4 to mp3

Help - I'm no techie! I simply wanted to convert mp4 files to mp3, which wouldn't work in itunes, because they are 'protected' files. A friend suggested Audacity, which I downloaded. I opened a file in Audacity, went to export as mp3, and got the message that "Audacity does not export mp3 files directly, but instead uses LAME, an mp3 exporting library available separately. would you like to locate LameLib now?" I clicked yes, but couldn't find anything in finder. At a loss, I went back to sourceforge and clikced to download LAME, hoping it would automatically sort everything. Nothing appeared to happen. It didn't seem to download, and I couldn't find any trace of it on computer.
Any help with this much appreciated - I just want to convert the files so I can put em on an mp3 CD! Seems like it should be incredibly simple to solve, but I am lost.

Wait a minute! There is an answer to your (and my) problem in the thread just below yours.
