I think Itunes itself can do it too.

I usually use dbpoweramp or lame..firt convert them to wav and then later on to mp3..

Lame v.3.97 (im using Blue RazorLame myself..but this works just as fine)

If this one doesn't work, it means you're MP4 file is copywright protected.

The free download limits you to one conversion at a time.

I just went thru this. I-Tunes will do it. Heres what you do. Open up I-Tunes, go to the i-tunes menu, open up advanced, go to importing, then go to import using, then select mp3 encoder. I had to convert one of my sets the other day for a radio show, and found this info on the web somewhere. Worked like a charm.

don't do it!

You're doing some lossy transcoding ... that's a big no no.
