[iTunes] applescripts /Was iPod woes, now it's iTunes woes

[Ken Stevens]

You might want to enter "bulk change file suffix windows" into  
Google.  You will get
a bunch of shareware programs to rename files in bulk.  Maybe you can  
download
trial version.  You want to look for one that replaces the suffix and  
leaves the name
alone.  One word of caution, you may want to try this after you have  
converted a
test file to AAC format.  I am not sure MP3 can be made bookmarkable.   
If it works
you can ask iTunes to convert all your MP3 files to AAC without a lot  
of work.
