itunes 11 import & convert to mp3 in one shot?

Bonjour, Hello,

Can't import and convert a sound file from my computer into iTunes 11.

With the former Itunes I used to press "alt" and click the "convert to mp3" from the menu. There was no problem.

Now, in iTunes 11, I found the same command (in file menu-> create a new version->convert to mp3) but it refuse to select any sound file on my hard disk.

The only solution I found for now is to import the file into the iTunes library and then convert the song to mp3 and delete original files : too munch time, too munch manipulations!

Any tricks?

Thank you.

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

I don't know....I podcast in Garageband, share it with iTunes, then use the advance menu to convert to MP3..however, in the latest iTunes 11...that options seems to be gone...no advanced menu....so how do I convert a file into MP3 format now with the new iTunes 11 with no advanced menu...any tips

Convert a song’s file format

Choose iTunes > Preferences, click General, and click Import Settings.
In the Import Using pop-up menu, choose the format you want to convert songs to, and click OK to save the settings.

File, add to library select files click import should come in mp3 format or whatever else you use

It is moved to the File menu.

iTunes menu File > Create New Version (hold Option) > Convert to (import settings).

This simply adds a song in whatever format it already is. Nothing is converted (unless you are importing an AudioCD).
