Convert iTunes Store music to MP3
Entire albums and single songs can be purchased from the iTunes Store, which is accessed via the iTunes software program. The audio files that you acquire from the iTunes Store will be in AAC format. This format is compatible with all iPods and iPhones. These audio files will not play on MP3 players, nor will they open in different audio programs such as Windows Media Player. To add these files onto an MP3 player, you must first convert the iTunes Store music to MP3 files.
