Duplicate files when converting MP3 to AAC

Thanks,

I did look though that ariticle but it mainly addresses how to re-rip cds to the AAC format and then deal with the hassle of the lose of tag info. I think when you rip CD's there is an option to replace the existing file. But I do not think, Or I have not found, an option to replace the file if you use the "convert to AAC" command in Itunes. Am I missing something?

Thanks

iTunes will automatically do that conversion for Shuffle owners. You needn't do anything but set your preferences properly. You might want to read the manual next time.

Yes, it is very simple by just deleting after the conversion. But I think what the original question was referring to if there is a way to set iTunes to automatically delete the old MP3's so you don't have to...so that way if you're doing a mass conversion, or if you just don't have the time, it will automatically do that for you. As far as I know, there is no way to set iTunes to do that. I think you just have to manually delete them yourself.

Not trying to post-whore. Just a correction cuz I'm a grammar freak. Should read "was referring to was if."
You are aware that you can edit your existing posts, right?

Not a big deal, but just wanted to point that out in case you weren't aware... :)

If you're talking about just straight conversion using iTunes, select the files you want to convert. Then, right click and select "convert selections to AAC." When it's done, the original MP3 files will remain highlighted, while the new AAC ones will not be highlighted. Therefore, just hit the "delete" key on your computer and it will delete all the highlighted MP3 files, leaving only the new AAC files. It's pretty simple.

This is correct, but first go to ITunes preferences and select your format to AAC or whatever you want to convert the songs to. This setting will determine what you see when you right click on the song title.
