WMP properties missing from your post...
does it say this is the case for ALL songs? If not, let iTunes convert those it can - the others shall have to remain unconverted as they aren't CD rips, I suspect!Friendly greeting!0 -
All songs 5000 plus! I know what you are implying but if they have the WMP properties as shown they should convert. We could set the 4 year old on ripping them all again in to iTunes but we don't want her writing that start to term thing we always did "What did you do during the holidays?" copied CD's twice!0

I use mp3 V0 to V3.I shot a vein in my neck and coughed up a Quaalude.
