10.4: Use Automator to mass-convert iTunes tracks
Authored by: Zee on Jun 30, '05 10:49:47AM

iTunes contains a "Convert Selection to AAC" item in the Advanced menu. This does not lose rating information. Once converted, you can simply delete all of your mp3 versions of the files using "Show Duplicate Songs" from the Edit menu, sort by type, select and delete.

Agreed on the "lossy" issue but it should be much worse than what you are currently hearing come through your speakers. It may be worth it for some people.

10.4: Use Automator to mass-convert iTunes tracks

The menu item is only 'Convert selection to AAC' if AAC is selected as the default compression codec. This is probably obvious to most, but if you only see 'Convert selection to MP3' or something, change the codec in the Preferences...Importing panel.
