Converting File Types
Suppose you’ve ripped a bunch of CDs to WMA format and then acquire a portable media device that only plays MP3s. Do you need to rip all those same CDs again? The answer is no.

To configure file conversion options, press Alt and then click Tools

You can also specify a better quality for video by choosing the Choose Quality Over Speed When Converting Video option. If you need more space for temporary files created during conversion, click the Change button and choose a different location. You can also specify the amount of disk space to allocate for the temporary files and delete any temporary files currently in the temporary location.
