Is it possible to purchase songs in mp3 format or to change them to MP3 after purchase

Is it possible to purchase songs from the istore in the MP3 format? or can I convert them to MP3 after purchase?

As given, music purchases from the iTunes store are in AAC format. Amazon and others offer mp3s.
To convert your files to MP3, setup your import settings (Edit > Preferences > General > Import Settings) for the target format & bitrate, select tracks, right-click and click Create MP3 version.
Note that unless converting from one lossless format to another you will lose some audio quality in any conversion. Whether that loss is noticeable or acceptable is for you to determine.
If you do decide to change formats, and don't want to keep the duplicate originals in the library, then you may find my ConvertFormat script useful.

and on the iTunes of my phone it is not even possible to purchase explicit songs

Hey lydiabat10,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Looks like the iPhone won't allow explicit content on it. One thing you may want to look at is the Restrictions.

Is it possible to download songs from itunes directly on to usb as mp3

Is it possible to download songs from itunes direct to usb as mp3

If you are referring to the iTunes Store, then no, because all songs they sell are in AAC format. You can buy MP3s from other online stores, such as Amazon MP3.

Not Possible to Purchase Songs without iTunes Application, right?

Hi, Everyone,
I was just wondering if it were at all possible to purchase songs via an Internet browser, and then download them at a later time using the iTunes application.
I currently do not have my own Internet connection as I am out of town for a couple weeks, but would like to get new music. The only places I can find in this town that has Internet connection are some small cafes with free wireless Internet. However, the connections are problematic; in this case, it takes a long time (between 15 and 20 minutes) to search for one song, add it to the Shopping Cart, then buy it successfully. However, I can download songs very quickly. I am currently on a wired connection (not my laptop), and this connection is fine, so I was hoping I could purchase songs and then just download them using my laptop on a wireless connection.
Thank you,
Victor Ly

why would you want to risk your account info on a connection at a cafe somewhere on the street? and why would you wanna buy the songs now and download them later? ....... the songs are always there, they are not going anywhere. you can still buy and download them when you think the conenction is safe and fast.... also, you can not buy songs from IE and download them from itunes, you have to buy them from itunes in order to download them in itunes ............ you can still buy songs many places on the internet from IE, but you can not download them in itunes .... they are seperate.
you can import songs into itunes tho ... if you already have them on your computer, yes you can use the add files to library in itunes.

How can I get iTunes to convert my songs to MP3's again and not this AAC version. I need them in MP3's for my spicing software.

I use a spicing program that does not support iTunes. I need to be able to convert my songs to MP3's. I was able to do that from my old laptop but now that I have a new one and everything is converted to the new one I noticed that the MP3 is not on there it is now AAC. Does anyone know how to convert to MP3's now? I am in the same version of iTunes but it is not the same. ODD and FUSTRATING!!

Change the default encoder to MP3. iTunes will then give you the option to convert any unprotected file in your library to MP3; this won't work with very old iTunes Store purchases.

The replay of the song isn't possible because the song isn't available or through DRM is restricted. All the songs are buyed in the iTunes Store. Give it a solution to activate the songs on my ipod touch ?

Hello together, I've a problem with some songs in my playlists on my new ipod touch. The error message says that the replay of the song isn't possible because the song isn't available or through DRM is restricted. All the songs are buyed in the iTunes Store.

Do the non-syncing songs play in iTunes?
Were the syncing and non-syncing songs purchased with the same account?
Can you directly download the the songs to the iPod? See:

Mel, Sure, although that is "copying," not "burning." It is easily done, as follows:
Insert the USB stick into your computer, and open it up so it looks like a folder. Highlight the songs you want in iTunes, and drag them into the folder.
If you normally run iTunes in full screen mode, make it smaller so that you can do the drag.

Is it possible to take songs off of your ipod and put it them on itunes

by accident i permanately deleted all my songs off my computer and cant get them back ,,,trust me i tried everything. im wondering is possible to take songs from your ipod and put them on your itunees library?

You can't sync or drag your music back directly from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
There's a command in iTunes 7 under File, "Transfer Purchases from iPod" you can check out. A paragraph on it has also been added to this article: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. As iTunes 7 is just out some of these may not work with it yet though I haven't experienced any problems with the Mac software I use.

If your iPod is set to update automatically take care when connecting back to your computer and an empty iTunes. If it is set to automatically update you will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press *No* (or "Cancel" if you are using iTunes 7). Pressing "Yes" (or Erase and Sync in iTunes 7) will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. In iTunes 7 Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Don't uncheck Sync Music it will be unchecked by default when you choose the manual setting: Managing Your Songs Manually
You can also use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys (on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then check the "Manually manage songs" box.
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. External drives are comparatively inexpensive these days and you can get loads of storage for quite a small outlay.

The only way to get songs on an iPhone is by synching the songs from your iTunes library, or purchasing them from the iTunes store on your phone.
You can search yourself for sites that offer free music.

I have music on my phone which was previsouly on my itunes but I lost everything on my computer, is there anyway to get my music back onto iTunes? I did not purchase this music from iTunes.

The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases - File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
The iphone is not a storage/backuip device.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a abckup copy of your computer for this very occasion. Have you failed to do this?
If so, then you may be able to purchase a third party program ( not supported by Apple) to get the songs.

recently "lost" a purchased song, (Plus the accompanying artwork) from my i-tunes library, after upgrading my O.S. from windows XP to windows 7.
Is there any way to get the original song back, or, at least, re-purchase it?... I tried to do the latter, (It's still available in the itunes store) but, when I clicked on the buy link, I was informed that I had already bought it and was only given the option to, either, copy the link or send it to Facebook/Twitter
I also, inadvertently, deleted a couple of default playlists (Notably recently added) while attempting to get the song back.
Can someone out there, please, help me out. with the solution(s). (preferably step by step if possible, as I'm a bit of a Homer Simpson when it comes to this sort of thing) .. Doh!! :-(

Hello @MK,
This functionality has been moved under the File menu in iTunes 11, where you will find a submenu labelled "Create New Version." From here you can choose the format you would like it converted to. Do keep in mind that most music purchased from the iTunes Store (unless they're iTunes Plus purchases) cannot be converted.

HT1349 I cannot Upgrade To Itunes Plus Or Burn Itunes Songs To Mp3 Cd Disks.

I have ITunes 10.7.0.21 and I cannot Upgrade To ITunes Plus Or Burn ITunes Songs To Mp3 Cd Disks. Do I not already have the DRM Free Songs that I have already purchased from ITunes over the course of the last year? How do I get my DRM Free Songs and be able to burn or transfer them. Please advise

I think I solved this for me. I had Netbarrier set to enable "Information Hiding" when I first had this problem. Unchecking that setting solved the problem.

Is it possible to purchase songs in mp3 format or to change them to MP3 after purchase
