I have iTUNES here in the dorm, but most songs are in mpeg4 format....is there a way to change it to mpeg layer 3?

:o
Isn't mp4 supposed to be more compact? Or am I thinking of something else? xP
I know fraunhofer was trying to develop a midi type of music format with the quality of mp3s, supposed to be 1/10th of the mp3 size (aka 1% of the cd-rom size).
You can do what I do, and do this
star>programs>creative>creative recorder
click it says it says "What you hear"
play the music and record it at the same time, a mic is not needed.
Then once you have the song in wav format you open up creative media player and click covert I think.

that can be done but I would take hours to make it just for 1 song.
WinAmp has a feature, using his output codec "diskwrite" or something like that allows to decompile any sound format it is playing to wav format doing it in just a few sec, and then convet them to mp3 format. with the sound program you want.

It desn't take hours.
It takes about roughly time to play the song x2

well, I know it wont take hours and only will take the same time you spend to listen it but I you have to decompile an entire CD that will take 1 hour and doing with winamp just 2 - 3 min.

Stupid question but does the itunes 'convert selection to mp3' feature not exist on the pc version?

Winamp will play and convert MP4's I believe. I know it converted my M4A's (Mpeg 4-Audio) into MP3's.

Advanced menu: 'Convert selection to mp3'
Of course I on't know how it works on the pc but that's where i's at on the mac. You have to select a song before it will appear though (hence convert selection...).
