Now create a folder on the desktop and drag your music files from the iTunes playlist into it.

The reason for the detour via the playlist is that you can archive your song compilation in this way and later optimize it for another CD. So first create a playlist, which you can call “car radio”, for example, and copy all the songs you want there. It is very important before the conversion that you leave your original files alone: If you rely on iTunes downloads, you should stick with the AAC format, just for the sound quality. Select music files in iTunes and put them in a playlist Fortunately, there is an easy way to quickly convert the files to MP3 format on Windows and Mac OS X, for example to burn them onto a CD for the car radio.

Actually, AAC is much better as the successor standard to MP3: The sound quality per file size is far higher than with MP3, but many device manufacturers still stubbornly refuse to support this file format. The only problem with this: Although Apple no longer installs copy protection in the music files, the music files are not in MP3 format, which is now supported by almost all devices, car radios and CD players, but as so-called AAC files with the extension. Apple's iTunes store is and remains an excellent source for online music purchases.
