Magic M4a to Mp3 Converter's simple interface allows for a quick transition from m4a to mp3
Apple’s program ‘iTunes’ is a tool for managing music on your computer. Every day, thousands of people download songs and podcasts from the iTunes Music Store, available only from the iTunes Program. iTunes is provided free with iPods and is also freely available on Apple’s website. There is only one hitch to the low-priced variety of music on iTunes, and that is compatibility. When you download a music file on iTunes, it downloads in the Mpeg-4 (.m4a) format. This poses a problem to everyone who wants to use iTunes music on a non-Apple mp3 player. However, thanks to the ‘Magic M4a to Mp3 Converter’ you can now easily make an mp3 copy of all of your iTunes music in one fell swoop. To convert all of your iTunes files: First, download and install the converter using the link at the end of the article. Second, run the program and click on the ‘add folder’ button and choose your ‘My Music/iTunes/iTunes Music’ folder, and then it will find all of your iTunes music automatically from there. Third, select the ‘Mp3′ option near the ‘Convert’ button. Fourth, in the ‘Save target as’ field, click ‘Change’ and choose a folder to put all of the new mp3 files in (remember, you get to keep your old music, the converter will make a new mp3 file for every m4a file you add). It’s a good idea to keep all of your music folders under the ‘My Music’ folder (or just ‘Music’ if you have Windows Vista), that way, Windows Media Player will be able to find your music. Fifth, click that big ‘Convert’ button and watch the fun. Depending on the size of your music collection, the conversion process may take a while. After it’s done, you can put the new mp3 files on any mp3 player (including iPods), and run them in any music program.
If you want to add your new music to Windows Media Player, then open it and click on the ‘Library’ button near the top, and click ‘Add to Library’ and then click ‘Ok’.
