Evidently, Apple does not like credit

I received an email from Apple, letting me know that they are not too happy with me...

Apparently, Apple does not like its customers to carry a balance on their store credit.  How many other retailers do you know that send a friendly reminder for their customers to spend the money they have just sitting out there.  Perhaps, dear friends at Apple, I haven't found anything lately WORTH spending my iTunes credit.  Maybe the finger should be pointing the other way.

iTunes built-in convert to mp3

Now that iTunes songs are DRM-free, you will most likely want to convert downloaded songs to a more user-friendly format (namely MP3) for use in ANY media player.

For the PC, go to the EDIT menu, then PREFERENCES. Halfway down the first screen, you should see a button for "IMPORT SETTINGS:"

Once you click "IMPORT SETTINGS," use the drop-down menus to change the default from AAC to MP3. I also change the quality to 192k so the songs sound better:

Click "OK," then "OK" again, and now, when you right-click a song in your library, you'll see the option to "Create MP3 Version." Awesome!
