[landoz]

Can anyone recommend a software to convert cds for my ipod - i downloaded one a while ago but cannot find it anywhere on my comp? So need to find another - the one that i had name started with S....... or how can I find it on my comp.

Thank you for any advice

iTunes will do this for you all by itself mate. Pop in a CD, click the "import" button, and let the software do its thing. Once iTunes has converted all of the tracks to mp3, you can add them to your iPod.

A detailed set of instructions can be found here:

So why won't Itunes create mp3 files? Surely there must be a way on the apple to convert the generic M4a files back to Mp3 or do I have to buy yet another friggin' programme?



From memory XP media player could select what format to rip the files to with a simple click of the mouse.

I am interested in this also.

I "inherited" about 6 gigs of music in AAC .

I have been told that I would lose accuracy/sound quality if I converted to MP3 as you are converting from one compressed format to another.

Why would you want MP3 anyway for an Ipod? I may be/am probably incorrect but I understand that MP3 is the format for non Ipod
applications such as USB sticks/players and AAC is the best/ most accurate for Ipod.

This is important to me as I intend to replace my old car unit with an ipod compatable unit maybe with controller , and just run all my music through Ipod. If you can convert to AAC to MP3 without too much quality loss then I could just get an MP3 compatable unit , which is much cheaper. However I personally think AAC/ipod gives a better sound quality than MP3, going on my son's setup. Yes I know it depends on sampling rate etc.

I haven't done it yet as my old 10 stacker will not die after 17 years, and will run Itunes produced cds. So I currently just burn Cds including compressed voice book Cds which I just burn to Itunes then burn Cds.

So could some guru please comment?

I changed the preferences on Itunes and am now importing all of my music again, this time onto MP3
