Convert iTunes to MP3 Format - Comments Page 3

I keep seeing the reference to iTunes 6.0, and how Jhymn won't work with it. Does anybody know where a guy can download an older version of iTunes, that will work with Jhymn?

EDITOR'S NOTE: This looks promising: http://www.oldapps.com/itunes.htm

SOOOO annoying! Burning a CD sounds promising - do you burn it through itunes, or another windows package - before importing to convert to mp3?

EDITOR'S NOTE: It shouldn't matter what software you use to burn the CD.

Thank you SOOO much. Other sites told me other ways to convert to MP3 format, but they didn't work. Now, this is sooo much easier! THANK YOU!

I have no option on my Mac OS 10.4.4's i-tunes for " the Convert Selection to MP3". And of course, I have i-tunes 6.0...Is there any otherr way to convert the music for my cd player? What about using Toast? Please help as your advice must be obsolete! (I've always loved i-mac but this is a reason to hate them!)

EDITOR'S NOTE: Maybe the Mac version of iTunes won't even display the "Convert to MP3" option if you ahve selected a "protected" file. Try burning a music CD, then import, then select an imported song, and see if the MP3 option appears.

I have iTunes 6.05 and apparently the burn CD option does not work either now...I receive a message saying iTunes purchases are protected and cannot be burned into MP3 format.

EDITOR'S NOTE:I have v6.05 and burns work fine. Make sure you're burning an AUDIO CD and not an MP3 CD.

Thanks Bob. That is what I was doing wrong. It worked!

U have iTunes 6.0.5.20 and the burn CD option produces an error (same as Skip). Iwas trying to burn to a CD-RW so chanaged to an audio CD, still getting the same problem. Any suggestions please?

EDITOR'S NOTE: Do you get the error burning, or importing the tunes afterward?

Ipods are the worst manufactured technology equipment in the history of the world. They break constantly for no reason and Apple fails to provide a repair service because they are so cheap. Get a Dell. They are cheaper and more reliable.

Thanks - this was helpful in the extreme. For all the Mac's strength as a media production machine, it's a damnably hard machine with which to perform routine tasks on that media.

Good info and thanks for taking the time. Is there a better way for music that we are missing here? Some of us are willing to pay a fair rate for our music. Are there any legit sites with a large selection that allows it to be downloaded in an unprotected format?
