Hi Sue,

You can convert the files to something else using iTunes or a variety 
of other programs. The drawback of doing this is that you have to 
recompress the files in the process so may lose some quality. One way 
around this is to transfer the tracks to other players using 
RealPlayer. It converts them to a format that will work in the player 
as part of the transfer process, but leaves the original file 
unchanged on your PC.
If you do want to change the format iTunes uses, choose Preferences 
from the Edit menu, or press Control-Comma. Tab until you reach the 
tab control in this dialog, and right arrow until you hear "OK 
button." This means you're on the Advanced page, but JAWS always 
loses focus there. Tab again until you reach "General tab." The 
Advanced dialog is a multi-page dialog within Preferences. Right 
arrow until you reach the Importing tab, and tab until you reach the 
"Import using" combo box, and choose the format you want. You can 
then convert music by selecting it, pressing Shift-F10, then "Convert 
to MP3" or whatever format you chose. You will now have two copies of 
each track you convert - the AAC one and the MP3 one.
