  • Open iTunes on your Mac.
  • Click on "iTunes" from the menu bar and then select "Preferences."
  • Select the "Import Settings" button from the "General" tab.
  • Choose "MP3 Encoder" from the "Import Using" drop-down menu.
  • Click "OK" to save your settings.
  • Select the M4A file(s) that you want to convert in iTunes.
  • Click on "File" and then click on "Convert" from the menu bar.
  • Select "Create MP3 Version" from the options displayed.
