Can any one me how/if its possible to change the music purchased from the i tunes website to mp3 format?

Trying to make a copy for the siggy and it needs to be in mp3 format cos my cd70 nav doesn't play copies

Use itunes to make an audio CD with the tracks you want, then rip it to itunes and make sure you have set it to rip to mp3. Or rip it with WM Player or similar.

Also, tracks purchased from Amazon are in mp3 and are DRM free.

Itunes will not burn an MP3 disc, only a standard audio disc as far as I am aware, and dont forget you may not be able to rip the tunes if you bought them because of the DRM.

But, if you bought the tunes, and they were the new "plus" version (DRM free) then simply drag them out of iTunes, into a folder, and convert them for an MP3 disc.

Oh yes it does, tick box in the menu when you burn, you'll not be able to burn purchased to MP3 as discussed though. Also turn track details on to diplay track names.

Touche, I stand corrected. Can you tell I don't burn many MP3 discs

No worries, I've just started, you can fi loads on a cd too.

I have made some before, but never using iTunes.

Robbie, your name is becoming more prominent for me on here. I was going to ask you about some HID's a while ago(I have been following massive thread), and now (from another thread) I know what your job is, I am applying so you could be a valuble resource!!

Maybe I should rent an hour of your time to ask all my questions lol.

Anyway, back to the topic.... Sorry for the derail.
