Multimedia journalism in the Last Frontier

Just a little tidbit that didn’t quite fit in the audio tutorial I’m writing for the Anchorage Daily News newsroom. This covers converting to MP3 but it also works to AAC, AIFF, Apple Lossless, or WAV.

To convert to an mp3:

•Import your file into iTunes.

•Highlight the file with a click, then go to Advanced > Convert Selection to MP3.

If it wants to convert you track to another format, you’ll need to edit the iTune’s preferences:

•Go to File > Preferences. Select the “Advanced” icon (looks like a gear).

•Select the “Importing” button. Under the “Import Using” drop down menu choose MP3 Encoder. Hit OK.
