iPod help

[valis2]

I went with a Zen mp3 player because I wasn't in love with iTunes/iPod.

Now I find that I have to load a ton of music (1,000+ songs) onto a brand new iPod. The songs I have are all in .wma format, and need to be in .aac format for the iPod player, I presume.

I can find no other method of converting them, save to convert each song one at a time. However, my time is incredibly slim, as I'm leaving in a week for a long trip, and I'd rather not sit and convert each file one at a time.

I'm holding out hope that, once plugged in for the first time, it will start up a sequence that goes to all of the music, converts it to .aac, and downloads it to the iPod, all with minimal fuss on my end. Yeah, and I'd like a pony, too.

Anyone know of these matters? Any ideas or help?

ETA: And it won't convert any song numbered 10 on an album. ha!

ETA2: Thanks, innerslytherin!

Okay, you have to set up iTunes on your computer, then tell it to import your music from "xxx" folder. It should say, "Some of these files are WMA format. Convert to MP3?" And you click Yes or Yes to all and Bob's yer uncle. ^_~

I have iTunes set up on my computer; the only option I have for importing that I can...

Okay, I have now found the option for moving folders of music into iTunes. Hooray!

Thanks. Y'know, I had a feeling I should have just checked it out a little further...

Yay! I'm glad you got it! It occurred to me maybe I should've said more specifically how to get to that importing folders... x.x
