[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1503678, member: 24160"] Well, I'm in Windows right now, but the setting on a Mac is the same. Open up iTunes Preferences - change the Import CD to mp3. Whatever you have set for importing CDs is the format you'll have the option to "Convert to" in the right click menu on a song. Aside from the 2 playlists, you could also set up 2 iTunes library so as not to have duplicates of everything in your main library. When you convert I think it auto saves them into your main library with no option - after conversion delete them from iTunes and move them into a separate folder. When you open iTunes - hold down the option key. This gives you the ability of selecting which iTunes library you want to open. Create a new one here and import all your mp3s into it. More work - but eliminates the dups in your main library. [/QUOTE]
