Convert MP4 to MP3

My new car will allow me to play MP3 songs off a flashdrive. Unfortunately my entire iTunes library appears to be MP4.
Any way I can flip them back to MP3??
Thanks in advance.

iPhone 4, iOS 5.1.1

Go iTunes prefs>General - at the bottom is 'Import Settings' - change the 'Import Using' to whatever mp3 setting you want - then select a tune in iTunes and from the 'Advanced' option in the menu bar select 'Create MP3 version'.


This will create a .mp3 version and the original .mp4 will still be there.

If you are listening to a music video, but the file shows in the "movie" app on your device, then I suggest you go to itunes, find the file, right click>get info>options>media kind>music video


That way, when syncing with your device, the file will be in your music library as a video, but function the same as other mp3. files.
