Default damn you itunes!

i just recently got myself an ipod touch! its fantastic! however itunes is driving me nuts! i guess it will take a while to get used too.

worst part is i have around 60gig of music, half of which is in wma format.

my computer has been running for two days now while itunes tries to convert everything over to ACC format or what ever.

it still gonna take another few days i think!

any way around this?

+ now that every thing is been changed to ACC, does this mean i cant play my music with out itunes? it didnt give me an option to change to MP3 at the time, can i go back and change now but then wait another 4 days?

argh.....

any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Apple does not Like Windows Media Audio WMA

So iTunes is going to want to convert it all to mp3 or m4a so it can be synced with the iTouch.

Its a pain and the more music the more time it will take.

2-4 days?
Man, do we need a supercomputer to convert some files haha?

Steve Jobs' latest keynote:
"Here's our latest offering of the Mac Pro: 2X 3ghz quad cores, up to 32gb RAM, 4 X 512mb graphics cards, support for 2X 30" HD+ displays.
And best of all, in the latest number crunching test, we were able to convert 4,000 songs from WMA format to MP3 in only 3 days! Woooo!! Yeah i'm stoked. Go me!" *gets out iPad and does a jigg*
