Convert M4A files to MP3.

[pointm@n]

Anyone know of a program that can convert M4A to MP3? I have Itunes 6.0 and didn't realize that it had converted all my MP3s to M4A. I just recently bought the Garmin Nuvi 350 GPS system and it plays MP3s, but not M4A. So I'm screwed. I have this huge collection but can't play it on my NUVI.

whyd it convert MP3s? it shouldnt do that, it only converts WMA. (which is still pretty rediculous, ipods should play all media types)

There is an import option in itunes. You need it change it to import using mp3 encoder.

Cool thanks for the suggestions. I'll have t read up on it and give it a try.

Don't know why they're converted but they are.

oppsite mouse click on your songs. Then select "convert to mp3" Otherwise, change yoiur options to import cd's to mp3's.

I think its a QC issue, besides you can have itunes full of dam near any format and it will convert tracks as they are being loaded into your ipod.
