itunes question

so I have a play list and almost all the songs are in mpg4 and I need them all to be mp3 I can select them all and convert them to mp3s however then i end up with two files in my library and I can just hand delete them from the play list i have to go back to library find the song in the format that I want to loss and delete it. so the question is does it make sense to write a script to go through the process of converting and deleting or is there something I’m missing ?

I think it does :wink: And I don’t consider it as an iTunes bug: I would be quite angry if iTunes deleted automatically my original files after converting them into another format.

Hi mcgrailm,

have you tried QuickConvert from Doug Adams’ site?

Sefan,

thank you thats exactly what I need

the only thing it does that I I didn’t like (and I sent the suggestion to Doug) is it doesn’t check to see if the track is already in the specified format and therefore pass it by.
