Converting itunes songs to MP3 format

Post by dutchpink » Wed Oct 13, 2010 4:05 pm

I am trying to convert songs in my itunes library to MP3 so I can load them into a TASCAM bass trainer to learn some bass lines. Can anyone help me with this? I am using a macbook and downloaded the appropriate version of Audacity. Would appreciate some help. Dutchpink

If you bought the music relatively recently, then the songs do not have copy protection and you can do this...

iTunes > Preferences > CD Import Settings > MP3 Encoder.
Select the song and Advanced > Create MP3 Version. You can select multiple songs by holding the shift key.

Drag those out of iTunes and use them for production.

See how that goes.
