Thanks for this - but ... i-tunes are M4p format, not MP3 and so it looks like I'm stuck. I have tried burning a disc using the command to burn as MP3 but it says it is unable to do so; in short it looks like any i-tunes cannot be converted into a different format. Any more ideas?!

Saw this and joined up to answer - its very simple once you know iTunes!
Open iTunes and click on the 'iTunes' menu in the top left and choose preferences. This will open a new window. Choose the 'Advanced' from the menu then click on the 'Importing' tab that appears below that.
There is a drop down for 'Import Using' - click on that and choose MP3 and then just select your bit rate
Done. See - easy when you know how.
You can change the format it burns CD's to in the 'Burning' tab too.
This will only convert any new CD's you import - everything you have already imported will have to be re-imported as MP3's I'm afraid. If its tracks you've download from the iTunes store simply set the burning options to Audio CD, burn the tracks then re-import the CD.
Hope that helps.
Still looking into BB's at the moment to see if a) they are what I'm looking for and b) if I can afford one! But the community aspect is a huge positive for them. Keep it up

I just love the community on here. I was thinking of getting an i-phone but I decided to stay with my BB Curve!10-08-07 01:09 AM - Thanks very much Mr. Ben - this is a really useful and helpful reply. Nice kind tone too! Thanks. If I can be bothered to reconfigure my existing i-tunes library, I will go ahead and do so ... however, there is always the prospect of the new apple i-phone which would negate all of these issues. That aside, I absolutely love my BB Curve - my 3rd BB and wouldn't be without it. The most useful travelling office I could wish for. Good luck with your decision and whatever you do, I hope it works out. Thanks again.10-09-07 02:15 AM
- Hey Ana, also if you want to make your songs ringtones you could just drop them into the ringtones folder, BUT if you don't want the whole song I found this site called MyxerTones.com, that lets you send selecte dprotions of a song as a ringtone to your phone. I stayed up late last night making different ring-tones for my circle of friends. It's so much fun!Thanks very much Mr. Ben - this is a really useful and helpful reply. Nice kind tone too! Thanks.
