Although its apparently possible to convert songs in a playlist to MP3, iTunes converts a few and then tells you that the remainder can't be burnt because they're not in MP3 mode!

Which is incredibly annoying.

Does anyone know what's stopping the others from being converted?

Sorry mate i use roxio as i couldnt get on with the itunes one. have you checked to see if the file is a mp3 or m4a? i think it has to be an actually .mp3 not any variant or it wont work.

I've got Roxio but its the getting of the iTunes library into the PC so that you can convert to MP3 using Audiograbber or Roxio which is what I was trying to avoid by doing it in iTunes.

Thanks all the same.

I do feel iTunes has got us by the short and curlies!

iTunes won't turn anything that is in the apple format into mp3.

so if you've bought anything from iTunes, it won't convert them.

one way round it is to burn them onto a CD as actual music tracks, then rip them back in again as mp3s

all the tracks can be found by clicking on "My Music", "ITunes", "Itunes Music" just point roxio at that folder.
