This article explains how to convert music to MP3 format on a computer and move it to an MP3 player. These instructions apply to iTunes 12.9 and later on Windows 10 PCs, to iTunes on macOS Mojave (10.14) and earlier, and to the Music app in macOS Catalina (10.15) and later.

If you have a music collection in iTunes or the Music app on your computer, you don't need an Apple iPod to listen to it on the go, nor do you need an MP3 player that works with iTunes. You can put music from iTunes on any MP3 player. If your MP3 player only accepts MP3 music files, you'll need to convert the music to MP3 format first in the iTunes program or with a third-party converter.

In iTunes or Music app, the settings for converting iTunes songs to MP3 format are simple. Select the songs you want to put on your MP3 player and go to File > Convert > Create MP3 Version.

Your other option is to use an audio file converter to save the music to MP3 format. There are online converters and offline converters. Use an online converter like Convertio to put a few iTunes songs onto your MP3 player. Offline converters like Freemake Audio Converter are better for converting many files at once.
