Call it a brain fart...or whatever...I've done this a hundred times, and now I can't figure it out.
I've got my playlist ready, changed the burn preference to "MP3 format"....click "Burn MP3 CD"....and I keep getting the message that none of the songs are MP3s?
So I've got to convert them to MP3 files, right? How do I do that?
1. What's the advantage of having MP3's instead of iTune's default format?
2.Once I have songs imported into iTunes, how do I convert to MP3's?
3. Can I convert files I bought on the iTunes store to MP3's?
4. Should I also change Prefernces>advanced>burning disc format to MP3 CD?

Yes.
4) Only if you want to burn data/MP3 CD's all the time. If you want to burn an audio CD that someone can stick in a regular CD player and play back - you'll need to leave the preference set to burn audio CD's. It just depends on if you want to give people a disc of files - or a disc of music.
iTunes drives me crazy because I can't figure out how to arrange the songs in a playlist. It's great for burning CDs from albums I bought thru their store, and I can buy a gapless/live album that will burn perfectly, but I can't seem to make my own mix in the order that I want it.
Converting from iTunes store music to mp3 is easy. Programs like Audio Tools or Total Recorder (I just mention them because they're cheap and very useful for other stuff as well) will record in pretty much any format you want (e.g., mp3. wav). If you can hear it on your soundcard, they can record it. AVS Audio Tools includes a lot of effects and editing software too. Both get along well with Reaper.
Good luck![]()
