[iTunes] converting .aiff files to .mp3

[Lynda Farabee]

I've been having the devil of a time recently doing the above!  A CD 
is recorded of a church service. My job is to convert the sermon 
track into .mp3 and upload to website.  Everything has gone well for 
over a year....until this past July, probably. I can't pin the 
problem down to possibly using Tiger or an upgrade of iTunes.  At any 
rate, using iTunes 4.9 and OS 10.2.4....I can no longer accomplish my 
task.

I select the track on the CD and under advanced menu, choose convert 
to mp3. The process appears to work but the resulting file is silent, 
no audio at all.  THEN the CD becomes apparently "damaged"....I can 
no longer play that track and sometime, cannot play a track or two on 
either side of the sermon track. However tracks 1, 2, & 3 usually 
play.

Does anyone have suggestions on what might be going on?  Thanks. -L
