Convert iTunes to MP3 Format - Comments Page 22

Just wanted to say thanks. Your instructions were perfect!

I followed your instructions: burned some iTunes file to a CD then imported the songs back into iTunes. I then used your directions to convert a song into an mp3--or at least that's what I thought. iTunes showed me that it was converting the song to an mp3 but there was no other copy of the song on iTunes, and when I try to upload the song to a ringtone maker site, it says that it isn't an mp3. So, two questions: 1) how can I tell whether a song is in mp3 format or not, and 2) why does it seem that the conversion is not happening when iTunes says it is?

EDITOR'S NOTE: Right-click a song, then select Get Info. This will tell you what type of file it is.

I followed all the above selections and still no love from iTunes. I still get the "...could not be converted because protected files cannot be converted to other formats.

DVDneXtCOPY iTurns will allow you to convert your iTunes music to mp3 and some other formats and its free. http://www.dvdnextcopyiturns.com

EDITOR'S NOTE: I hope this software is good, because the name is TRulY mINd BoGGliNg.

Great success! I followed the directions from suggestion #1 (burn to cd, convert to mp3), using a previously protected file. It worked! I transferred it to my Sony music player. Thanks for the tip.

i use tunclone audio converter. it applies the virtual cd burning technology. No disc is required.

Thanks for the help!!! One tip is that as sson as the itune signaled the file had been converted to mp3 I immediately dragged and dropped it into the folder on my PC. Works great. Thanks again!

burn,import,export to media player. apple sucks

I used TunePat (http://www.tunepat.com) which uses the virtual CD burning method to convert my iTunes music to plain MP3. It is much more faster than the physical "burning-ripping" with a CD-R/RW.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Since your email address ends with "tunepat.com" your recommendation makes me a bit skeptical. How does it differ from NoteBurner?

OMG!!!! Thank you for your help on converting iTunes format to MP3! This article was a lifesaver! Easy to understand, and exactly the way I saw it in iTunes. Thanks Again!
