iTunes 11...converting files to MP3 Format

Convert a song’s file format

1. Choose iTunes > Preferences, click General, and click Import Settings.
2. In the Import Using pop-up menu, choose the format you want to convert songs to, and click OK to save the settings.
3. Select one or more songs in your library and choose File > Create New Version > Create Format Version.

If you set the import settings to MP3.

Thern you can select your sogs, click File, Create new Version and MP3 should be an option

Sorry, dumb question...under what folder does it then store the MP3 once it is converted. I can't find it! Trying to burn to SDHC card...

The file is stored in your iTunes library with the original.

Hi there, I have a few mp3 files that I am trying to convert to the Itunes format but once I select the following, it is not imported. I have checked several threads but it hasnt helped me.

File/Add file to library/"I select the mps file from its location on my desktop" and then just a blink happens but I do not see the file imported. I have searched for any untitled folders by album, song name but it doesnt import.

Then, I saw this post and did the following:

Edit/Preferences/General/Import Settings (clicked on it), and selected MP3 Encoder with the high quality option (however I notice it says, befor ethe drop down: When you import a CD..but I am not importing a CD, just a few files. But there is no other place I can do this for single files or a folder.

Can someone help, its for my class and i need to listen to these audio files to be able to learn the material every morning. Thanks.

I have version 11 of Itunes.

Why?

iTunes plays MP3 files just fine. No need to convert anything.

What I meant is, I am trying to use Itunes on my Iphone to listen to the audio mp3 files.

Should listen to music on the iPhone using the Music app, not iTunes.

Hey Man I thought you were tech support out of India who are usually better than you are at getting to the point. Sorry...Ill start a new thread. Level 9 for BS...not being helpful..

You thought wrong, man.

who are usually better than you are at getting to the point.

How am I supposed to understand what you want when you don't write it?

You don't use iTunes to listen to music.

You don't need to convert files to MP3 to listen to tehm in the Music app.

If they are in iTunes, sync them to your device and open the Music app and listen to them.

Ok, I am not sure if you missed my post or were trying to help too many people at the same time. I am reposting my problem....but nevermind about helping now as I figured it out via other helpful channels.

First email before I clarified my question on how to be able to transfer an mps file into Itunes:

Thanks but no thanks.

Have a good day. Maybe the folks that rated you actually got help from you which is completely reasonable.

but nevermind about helping now as I figured it out via other helpful channels.

Perhaps you would post how you solved your issue so others viewing this thread may get some help from what worked for you?
