convert apple music files to mp3 in Music on Mac I followed the Apple instructions to convert music files that I have bought to mp3 but when I get to the last step: "Select one or more songs in your library, then choose File > Convert > Create [format] Version" the file formats are greyed out so not available to choose.

Can't convert my apple music to MP3 format in spite of following directions from Apple support I either imported or bought most of my music in the days of iTunes. With the updated Mac OS (I now have Big Sur) and the movement of all the music to the new Music App, I now can't seem to convert any of my songs to MP3 format in spite of changing import settings in the Preferences menu to MP3. When I highlight the song desired and choose the Convert To> menu item, the choice for MP3 format is inactive (greyed out). Any suggestions?

Preferences are now Called Settings.

By acc do you mean AAC?

If so, I assume you mean lossy AAC? Why do you need to convert to MP3? Lossy >lossy is considered a no-no. Check:
