Usually I learn by doing, but here its hit and mostly missing.
Every time I go back to u-tune as it always pops up unwanted anyway and give it another shot. Just cos its there .... I feel pity for it. But I think it is using my sweet character!
Now for instance, I tried to do as it said on a web page:
If you right-click on a music track in iTunes, there is an option to Convert Selection to some other format.
Probably it says "Convert Selection to AAC", which is useless because your iTunes tracks are already in AAC format!
So click on Edit / Preferences / Importing (or Edit / Preferences / Advanced / Importing) then change the Import Using from the default setting to "MP3 Encoder". Click OK to save this setting."
Now when you right-click on a music track, there is an option to Convert Selection to MP3. But just try it... iTunes will tell you that "Protected files cannot be converted to other formats."
Converting AAC to MP3
Bzzzt! Sorry, thanks for playing. It turns out you can only convert non-protected formats (such as WAV or WMA) to MP3. So what can we do? Fortunately, there are two ways to get around this annoying restriction.
Method 1: Burn the track(s) to a CD, then you can open the CD in iTunes and the Convert Selection to MP3 will do exactly what you want. Just be aware that you'll have TWO copies of that song in iTunes -- one in the original AAC format and one in MP3 format. You can delete the AAC version if you like. (Note that you must burn an audio CD, not a data CD. Check the setting in Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Burning if you have a problem importing tracks from the CD.)
Method 2: If you have lots of music, you might need a big pile of CDs to convert everything with the "burn and rip" method above. That's where software can help. A "virtual CD drive" such as NoteBurner or CD Emulator can simulate a real CD burner, eliminating the need for real CD-R discs. The Windows operating system will treat the virtual drive just like a real one, so you can tell your CD burning software to access the virtual drive by it's own drive letter.
The JHymn software can also help. JHymn was created to allow you to exercise your fair-use rights under copyright law, and will free your iTunes music from DRM restrictions with no loss of sound quality. JHymn provides a drag and drop graphical interface for both Mac OSX and Windows users. But currently, JHymn will not work with iTunes Version 6 or higher. If you have an earlier version of iTunes, keep it! (To download older versions of many software titles, check the OldVersion.com or OldApps.com sites.)
Note that JHymn is not meant to aid music piracy, but it does contradict the iTunes user agreement, and may not be legal in your country. You should be aware of the legalites of DRM circumvention in your country and make your own decision whether using JHymn software is right for you. Then use JHymn only for making archival copies of your own music, for copying tracks to an MP3 player, or for playing your music on a non-Itunes platform.
Its crap!
I put in a disc I had burnt of my original disc, I dont even bloody find it easily, then when I discover the disc, import one song into i-tunes I cant find it in i-tunes then finally I did and converted it too AAC and when looking at it in Exporer it was a MPEG-4 file!!!!!!!!!
Just saw a chip on telly, where the IOC Presedident declared participants in the games can protest by wearing bracelets declaring their sympathy with human rights.
Then they showed the guy behind the idea and he said it sold like hot buns. 20.000 were already ordered and he had to order more himself.
Its handy, that list. You know who is missing, and if you ought to ask a certain person a specific question, its easier to find, than sifting though the forums threads
