How do i convert multiple M4A music files to MP3 most of the share ware stuff will only let you do bits at a time. Is there somthing i can download to do it?

My missus has inherited my old Nokia n96 and she want to put her music on it. She previously had it on her ipod but wants it on the phone as this has a 16gb memory, the ipod was only a 2gb one.

The music is in her itunes but i know i can't do it from that.

There is a backup in 'my music' where all the albums are stored as ordinary files but in an M4A format.

here you go, google with the answer

"Google Search" said:
First, M4A stands for MPEG 4 Audio. It's an AAC file inside an MPG envelope. AAC is the successor of MP3, providing better quality at lower file sizes. In addition, people distributing content don't need to pay royalties to use AAC.

To convert these files to MP3 files, go to into the Preferences panel of iTunes. Click on the orange "Importing" selection and then select an MP3 Encoder for importing. Change the settings to whatever you want. Now, click OK and go back to the main window of iTunes. Select all songs you want to convert to MP3 and click on "Advanced" -> "Convert Selection to MP3".

iTunes knows a second AAC format called M4P. This is the protected version. It cant be converted to MP3 as easily. If you want to convert it to MP3, do this: First, burn the songs you want to convert onto an Audio CD (preferrably an CD-RW so you can erase it again afterwards). Now, import those songs again, this time into MP3 files. Voil�.
