Thank you.

In past versions of iTunes, I had the ability to convert to MP3 of to AAC from the Advanced Menu or via control click. Now, there doesn’t appear to be a way to convert files to MP3. This is a bummer as the bulk of my music collection is in iTunes Plus format, and songs ... (2 Comments)

Gary, I notice in your video podcasts that you use a wired lapel microphone and I am wondering if there are Bluetooth lapel microphones available?
I am thinking about doing some videos and would like to not have to deal with the wire of a lapel microphone.
