    • Mystics Anonymous is the brainchild project of Jeff Steblea, a fantastic songwriter and good friend of mine, as well. In fact, I even played the drums on all but one of the tracks on this album. Jef

    • Led Zeppelin
    • This album bears every flavor of genius from the five records that came before. It is, I believe, the band's finest. With Physical Graffiti, Zep came raging back to their musical home territory -- har

    • Nine Inch Nails
    • For years I wanted to make music that sounded like something between Love and Rockets and Ministry. In 1989, Trent Reznor beat me to it with this genre-defining album, and it smacked me upside the hea

iTunes: Quick Change Song Formats

iTunes handles all kinds of tasks from organizing your music library to updating your iPod or iPhone software. It also converts music files to your preferred audio format with a single mouse click.

Here’s how:

  • Find a song in your iTunes library that you want to convert to your default audio format. In my case, that’s AAC.
  • Control-click, or right-click, the track and choose Convert Selection to AAC. If you prefer a different audio format, like MP3 or or AIFF, the contextual menu will show that format instead of AAC.


iTunes offers quick access to its audio format conversion feature.

I use this trick when I have an audio file format that I want to convert to AAC from another audio format and I don’t want to take the time to launch another application to handle the conversion for me. iTunes always handles the job for me without any hassle.


iTunes supports several file import formats.

If you want to import or convert audio files using a different format, iTunes can manage that for you, too. Just change your default import option:

  • While in iTunes, choose iTunes > Preferences.
  • Click the Advanced tab.
  • Click the Importing tab.
  • Choose the audio format you want to use from the Import Using pop-up menu.
