I would like to convert AAC music files to MP3. How can it be done? I would like to transfer my songs onto a flash drive to plug into my car audio system to play my songs. The interesting thing is that on my hard drive it shows the music file type is MPEG-4 audio - will this file type play on car stereo if I copy those files directly onto a flash drive.

There was a time when one could select all songs, right click then choose convert to MP3.

Many thanks, in advance for your answer.

(NOTE: The songs are already on my hard drive and do not intent to import them again)

(NOTE 2: Has anyone used AnyTans - for Windows? If so, what are your thoughts on its performance?)

MPEG-4 audio is an alternate description for AAC or .m4a format files.

The import or convert format is set under Edit > Preferences > General > Import Settings. You're going to lose a little quality by converting so you should normally keep the originals. Set a similar bit rate to the originals. The is no point converting 128k AAC to 320k MP3.
