converting itunes song to mp3 for video montage

[1ceng1]

Now I am living proof that having kids fries your brain.
I am making a video montage on onetruemedia which accepts mp3 songs. I downloaded "Baby Mine" from itunes and now Onetruemedia won't accept it b/c it's not in MP3 format. Just 4 yrs ago I worked with computers, now I haven't a clue as to how to convert the file into an mp3 file. Anyone have an idea?

Thanks!

I burned my iTunes songs to a CD, and was able to get the songs off the CD and into my video software.

Is this song you need?

If so, then click on the link below and right click and hit "save as" on the baby mine link. That's how I got my song, golden slumbers, for my montage

beautiful song btw.

Also, another good place to get mp3 (I think) is walmart.com.

Good luck and hth!

ETA: I found another "baby mine" by bette midler (is that who sings the original song?)

Anyhow, here is the link: http://healingfromtheheart.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderfiles/babymine_bettemidler.mp3

And it came from this site: http://healingfromtheheart.tripod.com/

As Rachel said - you gotta burn the iTunes songs to cd as a normal audio cd then rip that cd to mp3 format back onto your hard drive. iTunes format will not place nice with other formats. :\

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
I've invested so many hours trying to figure this out. You've saved me countless hours more.

Also, just an FYI, you can do it all in iTunes if you set up your Import settings correctly.

Step 1: Set Up a Playlist in iTunes
Step 2: Burn Playlist to CD
Step 3: Make sure your import settings, say import songs in MP3 format from CDs
Step 4: Immediately reimport the songs you just burned
Step 5: I normally rename the songs with MP3 in the title so when I go upload them to OneTrueMedia they're easier to identify
