Must be something to do with the M4a files. I tried the conversion with two other applications, and in every case the resulting MP3's have an annoying distortion in them. Must be something iTunes are doing with the M4a files to make it unacceptable to turn them into MP3's. Uncle

My wife has a Mac and I have a PC. I have been looking for a way to convert her iTune M4a files to standard MP3 files and recently found this program Switch. I downloaded it today and it was very easy to do the conversion, and I thought all was well. However, the sound quality of the conversion is not good at all. I did the conversion to 192 kbps, which should definitely be a decent quality. I run a small home recording studio and have top quality studio speakers and AD/DA converters. Unless I can get the conversion sound quality to be better, the program will be useless for me. The output files have an annoying distortion to them, which I cannot understand why it should be there. All other MP3 conversions that I do myself from wav files are perfect, but they were not converted with Switch. Antything you can suggest that might be the root of this problem would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Tim
