Converting all songs in iTunes to MP3 format

[Ardoptres]

Is there a way to do this? All my tracks are mixes between MP3, M4A, ACC etc etc, but I want them all to be MP3. Is there a (an easy) way to do this?

Thanks in advance.

Highlight all of your songs in iTunes. Then choose iTunes ---> Advanced ---> Create MP3 Version

You can do it, but it doesn't make sense.

AAC = MP4

Mp4 is the successor to MP3.
Mp4 retains better quality than mp3 at the same file size.
Transoding degrades quality.

I agree; you should leave it as is, and convert only if you need it.

Actually, choosing Create MP3 Version will make a copy of the file, and convert that. If you hold down Option, the menu item will say Convert to MP3, which will convert the original file.

Ah, I didn't realize it changed anything but the file format. I guess I'll only convert the ones I need to be MP3. Thanks for the tips and advice.
