[iTunes] Re: Batch Converting MP3 to AAC

[David DelMonte]

Kunga - I did a batch conversion of my 50GB mp3 folder.

I did as you stated  (Advanced > convert to AAC).

I have a dual 1.3Ghz G4 (customized g4/500 with a Powerlogix card), 2GB 
Memory.  It took 3 days and nights :)

Anyway, after the conversion, all files sat in the iTunes folder. (Now 
it was 90GB).

I sorted the folder by "kind". Then deleted all mp3s.

Results: I cant tell much difference from the original mp3s - so I 
didn't lose anything, at least to my ears, and I saved 10GB of storage.
