[MacDV] Re: OT: AAC > MP3

[Filipp Lepalaan]

I just tried:
iTunes -> Preferences -> Importing -> As MP3
Select the AAC files in the library Advanced -> Convert
selection to MP3

The mp3's will be in the same folder as the original
AAC files.

About the FW drive: maybe You didn't
"Install MacOS 9 Drivers" when You
erased it under OS X?
