MP4 ITUNES Conversion To MP3 Flash Drive.
I'm not a parrot and hate repeating myself despite asking a similar question on this before about You Tube and MP#. Last time I asked about programs to convert You Tube into MP3 audio.
I'm not sure if it's the same process and programs as the You Tube question or not. However, I need to know how does one take their entire ITUNES library (which is not many songs) and convert these from MP4's into MP3s? I'm putting them on a Flash Drive so they can be easily played in the car, share with friends, etc. etc. Any guidance is helpful.
Please note that I'm NOT technically minded or technology savvy in the slightest. I can turn it on and off but that's it. I will be happy for any advice but please keep it in layman's terms so it's not inadvertently up and over my head. Thank You kindly!

Edit in response to feedback:
My point was that I could not see your column, and could not know that you weren't that kind of person. The only evidence I had was the way you wrote this question. As clear as your explanation might be for why you presented it the way you did, I also didn't have that explanation to work from.
People can only form an impression based on what you wrote in a single question. That's all anyone has. That's the information we get.
My impression, based on only that, was that I was probably going to get a negative response, no matter what I wrote.
I doubt I was alone in reading your question and forming that impression. You don't have to agree with me, but you should consider my comment, especially in light of the fact I was the only response you received.
I'm glad you figured it out tho. Always better to acquire technical skills that way I think.
I'm not a slave and I hate giving advice to questions that are so prescriptive and heavily qualified that it seems impossible that anything I will say will be met with anything but disdain and criticism.
But you seem to be reasonably smart, so I'm going to give you two pieces of advice. The first isn't what you asked for, and the second is:
First off: You should consider how you come across in your questions. You wont just scare off the bad advisers, you'll make the good ones feel that you aren't worth the effort. Saying thank you at the end doesn't change the over all impression your question gives off - Your opening line makes a very, very clear impression that no matter what is said too you, no matter how thorough or clearly described, you are going to shit on everyone who answers.
We can't know that if you are basically a good person who will be respectful and appreciative and that you just a have that sort of sense of humour. We can only read what you wrote down, and the way you began this is seriously off-putting.
People who give advice here get shit on enough without ever seeing it coming. It's a hazard of giving advice, but it also means they aren't going to jump in line to give detailed technical advice when they feel they are going to be rated down or insulted for it being over your head, or making you repeat yourself, or you just not being able to make their instructions work.
Now, to change your music library to MP3s in iTunes.
I'm using a mac with the most recent OS and an updated version of iTunes. I have no idea what you are using, or if things are different on different versions, but this worked for me right now, so I'll write down what it is I did.
On the Mac, open iTunes, and from the top left corner, right beside the little Apple,
Select the 'iTunes' drop down menu, and then select 'Preferences'.
(If you are on a PC, you should have a Preferences option as well, probably under the 'Edit' menu I'd guess).
On the General Preferences screen (which should be the screen you immediately find yourself on after clicking 'Preferences') click the button 'Import Settings'.
Change the 'Import Using' drop down menu to 'MP3 Encoder'.
Now go back to your music, select all the tracks you want to convert to MP3 and left click.
Select "Create MP3 Version".
That will give you an MP3 file for all the selected tracks. Then you'll just need to move the MP3 files over the flash drive and leave the original MP4s where they are.
Good luck.
