[QUOTE="NanoBite, post: 280448, member: 13565"] You control the import format from within iTunes Preferences. Open up the Prefs (click on iTunes in the top menu) and select the Advanced section (represented by a cog). There are 3 sections in there, choose the Importing button and you'll see all the options you have. You can tell iTunes what to do whenever a CD is inserted into the drive, you can tell iTunes what format you want it to use when it imports music, in the Import Using pull down menu. So when you're done setting up the Prefs, just pop in an audio CD and the rest should be easy peasy. Whatever format you choose to import music as, there is always a right-click/ctr-click option to convert any track in your library that was encoded using a different compatible format [I](AAC, AIFF, Apple Lossless Encoder, MP3, Wave)[/I], to that pre-selected format. So if you have AAC files in your library but want to convert them to MP3, set the Import Using option to MP3 and then right-click/ctrl-click on the file and there will be an option to convert to MP3.
