question ...

Does anybody know of any software that transfers music files from ipod to PC but in mp3 format ?

the software I use transfers them as m4a files ... and the conversion process to mp3 is time consuming ...

Hi Subzer051,

To the best of my knowledge, the files stored on an iPod are in m4a format (from iTunes?)

The only thing I could recommend is to get a good conversion program that has a batch convert option, that way you can convert all your files in one shot and make things a little less time consuming.

Otherwise, try grabbing an special player that supports m4a (does quicktime?) or you could try finding a codec that will enable WMP or Winamp (or whatever you use) to play the format back as-is...if you're concerned about quality, don't bother converting, you never gain quality through conversion.
