Conversion of purchased AAC files to mp3

Hi there - just recently I noticed that when I convert an AAC file bought MP3 the mp3 file will return to being an AAC file when I put it in a playlist. This problem has only started recently.  Everyone knows this? Does anyone have a solution?

I can't reproduce this - when I convert a purchased MP3 AAC I see both versions in my library:

If I then add the MP3 version to a playlist, it remains in MP3 format:

My best guess is that you actually add the original track of AAFC and no version MP3 - are you a person working in a playlist when you perform the conversion?  If so, note that only the original title is associated with the playlist, the converted, you can only be in your library.

I have to ask - if you want your support in MP3 format why not to buy from retailers that offer this, rather that having to go through a transformation process that inevitably leads to the loss of quality?

    Hello

Please read this information carefully and see if it helps you as well, here is the link:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/rip-music-from-CD#rip-music-from-CD=Windows-Vista

    If the WMA files you're talking about are stored somewhere else outside of an Audio CD, please let us know more - where are these recorded WMA files? These WMA files are stored locally on the hard drive of your computer, so if you want to upload to Amazon cloud as MP3s, you can consider converting these WMA files into MP3 files using a file converter software. In this case, Windows Media Player is unable to help you. Take a look at the information shared by J to volunteer in the following thread:

    OP: Window Movie Maker will not import an mp3 file. Why?

    I tried to imort a song from my music file which is in mp3 format, but the program won't. She won't tell me why, it just says: "C: {file location} .mp3 cannot be imported."  I imported 2 other songs that are the same exact format. Why is it cant import the file?

    Hello spardigus,

    1 - is the full error you get when you try to import the file?

    Some of the Mp3 files can be compressed in various formats. I suggest that you search information below and check out them if you are able to import the files.

    It might be possible that the file may be corrupted and is not readable by Movie Maker. I suggest that you copy the file to a different location on your computer and you are trying to import.

    Also check the size of the file. If it shows 0 bytes, there are good chances that the file may be damaged.

    I suggest that you try to convert this file to avi format using an Audio Converter. There are several converters which helps you convert the file in the required format. Convert the file and try to import.

    You can use your favorite search engine to find the program that will help convert the files.

  • Convert song purchased from iTunes to mp3 store

    I have a song that I bought on the iTunes Store, I wanted to share it with a friend who needed in mp3 format.  I created a Playlist with this the only song and tried to burn playlist to disc.  When you are prompted, I chose the mp3 format. I got the message «the file is an iTunes Store file and cannot be burned to a CD mp3»

    Does this mean that any time I buy a song on the iTunes Store can't share or create playlist mp3 for my own pleasure.  For example, I have a very good Audio Alpine receiver in my car, but it will not play mp4 so I need mp3 songs to play in my car. I also have a home radio/mp3 player that I can join a flashdrive USB port and listen to my songs, as long as they are MP3s.

    Can someone help me get control of the songs I bought and paid?

    Hello

    You can find detailed steps useful here:

    Note, however, that old purchased songs are encoded in a protected, AAC format prevents them from converts. Information on how to improve and convert them to another format is available here:

    My nephew has recently tried to convert wma into mp3 files so I could put on my mp3 player. He used Jodix and everything seems to be going as planned until we try to get the songs from Windows Media Player. A message: you need to update DirectX version 8.1 or higher. Well, I tried to download from Windows and got a message saying that I already have the latest version of DirectX. So back to Jodix and found another message that says: I may need to update Windows Media Player to version 7.1 or later version. Only, I don't know what version I have (sorry, I can't find the information). And I don't even know what to do if I found the info.
