If you’re like me, you get used to how a software application works and wonder what the developers were thinking when they arbitrarily decide to make a radical change to the user interface. iTunes 11 is no different.
I often convert raw audio files into MP3 podcasts and CD tracks into AAC files. Through iTunes 10, I ran iTunes’ conversion tool from the Advanced menu. In iTunes 11, which was just released, the developers removed the Advanced menu from the program. Where did it go? An extensive search revealed that the conversion function was moved into the File menu.
The field is constantly greyed out in version 11.01.
Any ideas?
Mirko, while I haven’t seen this behavior in 11.01, I’d start by checking your Import Settings under the iTunes General Preferences menu. Mine is set to convert files to AAC format, so that is the only option that I see in the Create New Version drop-down menu.
