I’ve just gotten wind of this new (free) service that will convert just about any file from one format to just about any other format. Meet Zamzar.
It’s as simple as can be: you upload your file, choose the desired target format and provide your email address. After the file is uploaded, you get an email with a link to the converted file. It works for a variety of image, document, audio and video formats.
I just tested it, and it worked brilliantly and quickly. In my case, for some of my posts (like the last one, and the one coming up), I need to convert files from iTunes format to mp3, so I can edit them and link to the snippets. Until now this has been extremely cumbersome.
So, try Zamzar. Hope you find it useful.

Well, a friend of mine has pointed out that you can actually convert files to mp3 within iTunes. Go know.
