iTunes / MP3's

[Busby]

Thinking of getting a pair of Oakley thump galsses for snowboarding but all of my music is in iTunes and to get the music into the glasses it needs to be an MP3 and you just drag and drop it from the Windows Media file into the glasses memory.

Wondering how I get a song from iTunes into MP3 so I can put it on the glasses. Would it work to burn the songs from iTunes to cdr and then save them from the cdr into Windows Media?

yeah but only if u burn them as an audio cd that works in normal cd players, and that means u can only fit about 20 songs on each disc so it would take a long time... i'm pretty sure iTunes has a .wma to .aac converter so WMP might possibly have the opposite, but knowing microsoft, i doubt it.

I also use iTunes and needed to convert my aac files to mp3 for my mobile phone and it's really easy. Obviously, the best method is to re-rip your music, but who can be bothered to do that, especially for a mere phone.

So, do this:
