Up until recently I was able to download music and then convert it to MP3 format to play in my car, which is several years old and is not able to play MP4 format. I recently tried to convert by going to "file" and thento the "convert" tab and the MP3 was there. Now it is not and al, I have access to is "create AAC version". Is there any way to get MP4 into MP3 format using windows?
Thanks
Windows, Windows 10
Yes. That setting is determined by the import CD setting. Odd, I know - bizarre even. But that's the way t is.
Go to Edit/Preferences/General>Import Settings and change the Import Using from AAC Encoder to MP3 Encoder. (In case that's not clear, Import Settings is near the bottom of the General tab).
That's it. You will now find that the File/Convert option states Create MP3 Version.

Do you actually have a song selected? If so, does it come under any of the headings mentioned by tt2?
In the last case, this is because no song was selected. I did not check to see what was selected on the first two occasions.
You cannot convert protected media, or anything that is in the cloud. Old school 128k protected AAC music purchases (2009 or earlier) can potentially be burned to CD and then ripped back as unprotected files. Content from an Apple Music subscription cannot be used outside of Apple's software and hardware, and then only while your subscription remains active.

Thank you very much!!!! It worked as you said it would. Thanks again.
You're welcome.

It wasn't a lucky guess ;)
it saying that its a protected file and can't change to mp3
This did not work for me. All "Convert" options are still grayed out. Any other suggestions? Any 3rd party suggestions since Catalaina won't allow Audacity to work anymore?
