When I try the suggestions for creating an mp3 version of songs do the preferences/import settings/mp3 format selection; I go to file/convert and none of the choices are active.

The File/Convert options will only be available if you have a song selected.

Note that Convert ID Tags will only be highlighted for particular songs.

MP3 conversion method in iTunes no longer working Hi there! I've successfully converted my iTunes songs into mp3 format using the tutorial outlined here (https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT204310), but it hasn't worked on my most recent downloads. The option to convert to MP3 is now greyed out. On the Import Settings screen, i noticed at the bottom that it mentions "These settings do not apply to songs downloaded from the iTunes Store". Not sure if this is a recent development... Thanks in advance for your time and help, whoever may be able to help. :)

Can't convert purchased song to mp3 (iTunes 12.8) Hello all! I am experiencing problems converting some purchased songs on iTunes into an mp3 format. YES, I have changed "Import Using" to "MP3 Encoder" in General settings. I am subscribed to Apple Music and had added the album A Moment Apart by Odesza about one year ago. Today I purchased said album. I was able to convert about half of the songs to mp3 format. According to "Song Info" those songs where a mp3 file was created successfully are now a "Purchased AAC audio file". However, the other half of the songs where it wasn't possible to convert to mp3 the "Song Info" still reads "Apple Music AAC audio file". Can anyone help? Thank you all so so much in advance :) Cheers!
