    And this works through command line or something, but everytime i try to run the program it instantly closes.

    or you could open the command prompt and just drag and drop the .exe into the prompt window and it'll make the link for you then you just wack enter

    thanks for that woodshop. but i think i jsut found the easiest way.
    i just set the import to mp3 format on the old computers itunes, now i just have to select the files in itunes > right click> convert to MP3.
    Only problem is that this creates doubles.
    I'll dl power amp and convert all the AAC's in the itunes folders with DBpower amp.
    Thanks again.
