Converting Windows iPod .m4a files to .mp3 files

I like MediaMonkey for managing my mp3 library. I have a Windows iPod with some .m4a files on it that I wanted to get into my .mp3 library, so…

  1. Enable disk access on the iPod
  2. Download this plug-in and copy the .dll to your MediaMonkey plugins directory
  3. Fire up MediaMonkey
  4. Open the iPod device (should show up in your tree of devices on the left)
  5. Select the tunes you want
  6. Use Tools->Convert in MM and specify MP3

So easy, but such a pain to figure out.
