very helpful. i knew that itunes could do this (had done it on a friend’s mac), but my itunes kept saying “create aac version” instead of “create mp3 version”. your tip helped big time.

I think this AAC to MP3 Converter is a professional software which can convert AAC to MP3 music files easily.

Well, you could highlight the whole music list, right click, hit “create MP3″ … then let it run its course and go back when done into your “music” library, sort by song title, and manually delete every other one— or just leave ‘em there if you don’t mind the overload, but that might be a bit much on the hard drive.

anyway, you piqued my interest so I searched the help file in itunes and couldn’t find anything that addressed coverting a whole block of songs – it only discussed one-by-one.

you actually can (unless I’m missing something) but I converted songs purchased through itunes using this wonderful tip.

The exact steps are:

Edit>> Preferences>> Import Settings (mid page/right side)>> Import Using (select MP3 or other if WAV file is desired)
Then you go into a playlist and right click on a song. Near the top of the selections it will give a “Create MP3 Version” choice. Click on it. That will convert it in your main “music” list. You may have to right click on the title and hit “get info” to see which is your MP3 and which is itunes (m4a) version, but it’s generally the second in line (and will state MPEG audio file after “kind”). You can even drag it directly from the itunes “music” file into your Windows Media Player library.
