Select the songs you wish to convert to MP3 format.
(To select multiple songs, hold down the shift key and click on all of the songs. Selected files are highlighted blue.)
Once all of these songs are selected, go to “File” on the top navigation, then “Convert” then select “Create MP3 version”.
Once your selected songs are converted, you can now copy and paste or drag and drop those newly made MP3 or MPEG files onto your SYRYN, Uku, or Swimbdus MP3 when your SYRYN, Uku, or Swimbdus MP3 is plugged into your computer.
