How to Convert Music to MP3 in iTunes
If you have a collection of music in iTunes or the Music app on your computer, you don’t need an iPod from Apple to listen to it on the go, nor do you need an MP3 player you can use with iTunes. You can put music from iTunes onto any MP3 player. If your MP3 player only accepts MP3 music files, you need to first convert the music to the MP3 format in the iTunes program or with a third-party converter. In iTunes or the Music app, the settings for converting iTunes songs to the MP3 format are straightforward. Select the songs you want to put on your MP3 player and go to File > Convert > Create MP3 Version.
How to Convert to MP3 Using a Third-Party Converter
Your other option is to use an audio file converter to save the music to MP3 format. There are online converters and offline converters. Use an online converter like Convertio to put a few iTunes songs on your MP3 player. Offline converters like Freemake Audio Converter are better for converting lots of files at once. If you choose a file converter tool, locate the song on your computer. To do that, right-click the song you want to put on your MP3 player, then choose Show in Windows Explorer (for Windows) or Show in Finder (on a Mac). Then, upload that file to the online audio file converter or import it into the offline converter.
How to Put Music on Your MP3 Player
After the songs you want on your MP3 player are converted to the correct format for your device, move the files to the MP3 player. If you have software associated with the MP3 player, use it to import the iTunes songs.
