    Default Converting a file to mp3

    I'm new to doing this so I'll explain it as best as I can. I'm using serato dj and recording my own stuff but because it is some sort of weird file, I can't add it to my iTunes or play it on my phone.

    What do I have to do to convert it to a listenable file?

    I use itunes. If it plays in itunes, then itunes can convert it with 1 click.

    lol whoops, missed that part.

    If you're recording it in Serato DJ, there should be a way to export it as an MP3/WAV out of there directly.

    To be fair, an AIFF should definitely work in iTunes because it's a file format designed by Apple. Maybe something went wrong with the exporting?

    I still haven't done this, I'll do it tomorrow. However if you open it on onedrive on a pc it works and I tested it on an iPhone and it worked on onedrive on there as well, but not my S6 or my wife's windows phone.
