If you’re using an audio converting website that is not professional software or iTunes, it’s a good idea to convert your audio again in iTunes afterwards, just to make sure the files are in tip top shape for distribution.

We recommend you drag the newly converted file(s) (not highlighted) to a folder on your desktop directly from the iTunes library so you will be able to find it later. Once the song has finished converting, you will see that the highlighted song(s) is the old version.If you have a newer version of iTunes you may need to go to File, click Convert and “Create WAV Version” Your song(s) will immediately begin converting. With your song title(s) still highlighted right click and select Create WAV version.Then continue clicking OK until you are back to your iTunes library. Make sure Channels says Stereo and Stereo Mode says Normal. In the Custom window, change the Sample Rate to 44.1 kHz and Sample Size to 16 bit.Then click to change Setting to Custom and a new window will open. Go down to where it says Import Settings (if you have an older version of iTunes, you may have to click where it says Advanced and then click on Import Settings). Once you’ve clicked Preferences ,make sure you are on the General tab.On a PC, iTunes Version 11, this is under the square icon on the top left of your iTunes window). On a PC, iTunes Version 10 or older, this is under the Edit drop down menu. Go to Preferences (On a Mac, this is under the iTunes drop down menu.Search for your song(s) in your iTunes Music Library and highlight it (do this by clicking once on the song).Open the iTunes application on your computer.Just click here for step-by-step instructions on converting your audio through iTunes.įollow these instructions to convert your audio to 16 bit (sample size), 44.1 kHz (sample rate), 1411 kbps (bit rate) stereo WAV files in iTunes before you upload to TuneCore: You can use your iTunes mobile or desktop app to convert your files into the required format.
