Convert AIFF audio file to MP3 in iTunes 6
I have looked everywhere to see how to convert an AIFF audio file to MP3. I use Garage Band to make a song, but after I send it to iTunes it is an AIFF file. Can anyone help me turn that file into an MP3.
Most instructions say to convert it under the "Advanced" menu, but there is not covert to MP3 button only convert to AIFF. Which it already is.
Thanks for any advice.

Now, find your song and right-click on it. You will see a menu item that says "Convert Selection to MP3".
Go to the Advanced tab on the Preferences dialog for iTunes. Change your encoder to MP3 and choose the bit rate that you want. Close the dialog.
Now, find your song and right-click on it. You will see a menu item that says "Convert Selection to MP3". you can convert AIFF to MP3.
Yep, iTunes get well for that. It can work in that case. Or get other way. But if there are other formats needed, it seems not the good way to do it. but some apps would work good.
iTunes may be help you convert AIFF to MP3.
If it doesn't, turn to this article about how to convert AIFF to MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4R, M4A etc.
In iTunes, hold down the 'option' key while clicking the 'Advanced' menu. The "Convert to MP3.." (Or AAC, depending on what your Import settings are) should be selectable now. Select that and you get the traditional window you use to select which files you'd like to convert.
Warning: The files will import with only the file name as seen in the finder. There will be no artist, album, etc. metadata transferred in the conversion.
iTunes can batch convert AIFF to AAC, but batch converting AIFF to MP3. In this case, i highly recommend Faasoft Audio Converter.
