itunes and audacity?

[BLuejoules]

Is there a way I can make my itunes files mp3's instead of the mpeg4's they are now? I cant check songs on audacity if they're mpeg4.

Oh and If this is the wrong section please move it.

just right click the song and choose convert to mp3 then the file will go into your My Music folder, if you haven't changed the default settings.

When I right click I dont have the option to convert to mp3

are they purchased tracks?

why would they be mpeg4... isnt the default AAC, and MP3 being a close 2nd?

just google a mpeg4 to mp3 file converter

Purchased Itunes songs are Protected AAC but are .m4p format and you can not convert them so when you right click a protected track there is no Convert to mp3 option. I have converted many tracks through Itunes...strange thing is though is that I've bought a few tracks from Bay Area rappers and all but 1 of them have been AAC but not protected so I was able to convert them.

In order to turn that protected track into an mp3 is to burn it and rip back on to your computer

what i usually do is record (backup) your bought itunes music to a audio CD.

then take that cd and rip it to mp3.

i know its a whole step that you probably want to avoid but for me 5 minutes later i have my mp3s.

LOL yeah I usually get all my music for free off internet forums but certain songs I had to buy since I couldn't find them for free...I do like the Itunes player, IMO its the best since its really ease to use
