Downsampling Apple Lossless files for iPod


Hey folks - wondering if anyone knows a script or piece of software to batch-downsize a music library to use on an iPod. I ripped all my CDs lossless but my wife and I would like to have them available for noncritical listening on the road. Thanks in advance for your help.

In iTunes help section of your computer you can search and find:

“Save a copy of a song in a new file format“

(1) Choose iTunes>Preferences, click General and click Import Settings

(2) In the Import Using pop-up menu, choose the format you want to convert songs to and click OK to save settings.

(3)Select one or more songs in your library and choose File>Create New version>Create [format} Version.

The songs will be saved in it’s original format and the newly converted song appears in your library.

You can choose either version to sync with your iPod.
