I used iTunes to copy songs off the VBS CD, which encoded them in AAC format (M4A container). My video editor doesn’t accept that format, so I needed to convert them to mp3. After trying lots of programs that Google offered me, many of which claimed to be “free” but were really just “free trials”, I finally found the solution in a forum post. It turns out that you can do the conversion right in iTunes, totally free and totally cool.
1. Go into iTunes Preferences, and change the importing mode back to the MP3 mode you like
2. Now select the tracks that you want to change back, and go to the Advanced menu. There is an item called “convert selection to MP3“.
This menu item lists whatever the current setting is in the importing prefs.
Now, this might not be good for the audio quality, but I don’t really care: I don’t listen to music that carefully. Thanks, Hannah W!
If you’re looking for Cisco exam training, the 642-372 as well as 642-382 should ideally follow 642-426. However a small number of students go for the 642-523. This also exempts them from 642-533.
Thank you so much, I tried forever to convert my m4a files with no luck. It turns out the answer was in front of me the whole time. Thanks again!
you can also do this with winamp pro.
just add the files to your playlist
right click
select “send to:”
select “format converter”
and thats it
