Has Apple taken away the option to "convert to MP3" with the 12.4.0.119 or am I missing something?
OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)
From iTunes' menu, go to iTunes > Preferences > General > Import Settings > [Import using] MP3 Encoder.
From iTunes' menu, go to iTunes > Preferences > General > Import Settings > [Import using] MP3 Encoder.
| 1 | Open iTunes Preferences. |
| 2 | Windows: Choose Edit > Preferences. |
| 3 | Mac: Choose iTunes > Preferences. |
| 4 | Click the General button, then click the Import Settings button in the lower section of the window. |
| 5 | From the Import Using pop-up menu, choose the encoding format that you want to convert the song to. To save the settings, click OK. |
| 6 | Select one or more songs in your library that you want to convert. |
| 7 | Choose File > Create New Version, then Create [format] Version. The format shown is the one that you chose in step 3. For example, if you chose Apple Lossless Encoder, select Create Apple Lossless Version. |
New song files appear in your library next to the original files.

Thank you. I knew I was probably being a dope.
I don't think you were being a dope! 🙂 It was simpler before - right click, make MP3 version (or whatever).... Suddenly Apple changed it. How is one supposed to know ! 😠
Anyway I had the same query - and thank you very much for asking the question and securing the very helpful answer from Mobile Blues! 😎
Is "convert to MP3" feature gone?
