I just realized that it would be best for me to be burning CDs in the MP3 form but all my songs were imported (and dowloaded off iTunes) AAC format, I wanted to be able to burn in MP3 becuase it would be able to hold more songs than the "audio cd" format, still play on a cd player, and most importantly; be able to retain the track names, artists, ect. Any idea of something that could help me?

Go to iTunes->Preferences->Advanced->Importing and change the encoder from AAC to mp3. Now the best thing to do quality-wise would be to rip all your CDs again. You can however also select all your AAC encoded tracks and select the menu command Advanced->Convert to mp3 (what the Convert command converts to reflects the setting in the importing preferences). The quality is not as good as with reimporting since you are transcoding from one lossy format to another lossy format here.

If you want to stick with AAC you can burn your CDs as data CDs. They also take up less space as an Audio-CD and retain track names, artists etc. You can play from the CD with iTunes, but you can't play it with an mp3 CD-player.

Thank you! I think I'll go with just re-importing them.
