Itunes Question

Jason1 · 09-26-2005, 07:51 PM

Okay, so Im trying to burn a MP3 CD using Itunes. It wont let me burn a lot of the songs I want to because theyre not in the MP3 format. They are songs that Ive just imported from the CD's I actually own, and theyre in the AAC audio format. Is there any easy way to convert all of these songs to the MP3 format? Or is there another way to solve this problem?

If you're using a Mac, yes, very easy.

Otherwise, not quite as easy.

Actually, I think I figured it out myself. I just did a search in the Itunes help. It is kinda a pain the way they tell you, but I can do it, no problem.

Oh, and BTW, would you recommend a Apple Notebook? Are they any good? Because ive been thinking about getting a notebook for college, and the only reason I havent gotten an Apple computer in the past is because you cant play games on them, but I wouldnt really need to play games on a notebook for college.

Preferences > Advanced > Importing > Import Using: MP3 Encoder

Go back to library, highlight all songs that are in AAC. The click Advanced > Convert Selection to MP3

That's cancer for your audio quality, you know.

Yes, I do recommend it. But I'm a Mac enthusiast.

Anyhow, they say the Apple notebooks are their best value. A Mac and a Windows laptop of equivalent power cost about the same. But the Mac gets the stability and elegance of OS X.

And if you do get an Apple notebook, I say go all out and get a G4. These days, a G4 can still be perfectly functional and up to date and do everything you want it to do for at least five years (like mine). The money you save by not buying a new computer will be worth it.
