Sometimes you have a song in iTunes whose format you want to change - you might need to convert an AIFF file before loading it onto your iPad, for instance. First, head over to Edit, then Preferences, click the General tab, and then the Import Settings button. In the Import Using pop-up menu, pick the format you want to convert to and then click OK.
Now, in your iTunes library, choose the song you want to convert and choose Advanced, then Create MP3 Version. If you possess a whole folder or disk full of potential converts, hold down the Shift key as you choose Advanced, then "Convert to AAC". A window pops up, which you can use to navigate to the folder or disk holding the files you want to convert.
The only files that don't get converted are protected ones: Audible.com tracks and older tracks from the iTunes Store that have copy-protection built in. If you bought a song after April 2009, though, odds are you are delightfully free from such restrictions, since that's when Apple stopped copy-protecting music. The song or songs in the original format, as well as the freshly converted tracks, are actually in your library.
If you'd like to improve the way your songs sound, you can use iTunes' graphic equalizer (EQ) to regulate various frequencies in certain kinds of music. You might want to boost the bass tones in dance tracks to emphasize the booming rhythm, for instance. To get the equalizer front and center, choose View (Window), then Equalizer and unleash a number of your new EQ powers.
Drag the sliders to support your listening tastes. You can drag the Preamp slider up or right down to compensate for songs that sound too loud or too soft. To create your own presets, click the pop-up menu and choose Make Preset.
Use the pop-up menu to select one of the canned presets for different types of music. You can apply equalizer settings for an entire album or to individual songs.
To use settings to a whole album, select the album's name. Then press Ctrl+I and click "Yes" if iTunes asks whether you're sure you want to edit multiple items. In the box that appears, click the Options tab and choose your preferred setting from the Equalizer Preset pull-down menu.
You can apply equalizer presets to specific songs as well. Rather than selecting the album name in the iTunes window, click the song name, and then press Ctrl+I. Click the choices tab and select a setting from the Equalizer Preset menu.
Finally, you can alter the EQ settings right from your song lists by adding an Equalizer column. Choose View, thenView Options and turn on the Equalizer checkbox. A new column appears in your track lists, where you can select EQ settings.
Tired of seeing so many tunes named Untitled? You can change song titles in iTunes - to enter a song's real name, for example, or to fix a typo - a couple of ways. In the song list, click the text you want to change, wait a minute, and then click again. The title now appears highlighted and you can edit the written text - just like when you change file names on the desktop computer.
Another way to change a song's title, artist name, or other information is to click the song in the iTunes window and press Ctrl+I (C-I) to summon the Get Info box. Click the Info tab and type in the new track information. Too much work? You can always try Advanced, then Get CD Track Names and see what comes up, although the Gracenote database iTunes uses might not know the title, either, if it's something deeply obscure or homemade.
