    .aac to .mp3 conversion

    When I converted .aac files, created by iTunes, to .mp3 using DBPowerAmp, they sound terrible. :vmad: They sound very hissy! I ended up having to delete them and re-rip them to my computer. Did I do something wrong or is it just the codec?

    It all depends on which of the codecs you used, how you used them, what the input file specs are and those for the output mp3 you created.

    Often files downloaded from iTunes are encrypted, so conversion is usally impossible by normal means.

      Also, it depends on the bitrates of your source files and the bitrate of the output file.

        And if you can't get rid of the encryption even with decryption software, stick to Auxiliary Input.

          The songs were not downloaded from the iTunes store. They were originally ripped from my CD using iTunes. I ripped them as .aac before I figured out how to change the format to rip to in iTunes preferences. I tried to convert the songs that I ripped to .aac using iTunes with DBPoweramp. I just re-ripped them in iTunes as mp3 and they seem fine now.

          Thanks for the responses.
