How do I convert an AAC file to MP3 on my Windows 11 computer?

No need for complicated third-party tools. Here are two methods I found:

1. Use the built-in "Music" application (Windows Media Player) in Windows: The built-in "Music" application in Windows can actually convert AAC to MP3, and the steps are not complicated:

1. Open the music application.
2. Select the AAC file you want to convert, right-click and select "Open with", then select Windows Media Player.
3. In Windows Media Player, click the "Copy to CD" option, then select the MP3 format.
4. Insert a blank CD (it doesn't have to be burned, it can be used as a temporary storage) for conversion.
5. When the CD is burned, you can get the file in MP3 format. Although this method seems a bit "old", at least you don't need to download any additional software.

2. Use VLLC media player: VLLC can not only play audio and video in various formats, but also convert aac to mp3 file formats, which is very simple:

1. Open VLLC player, click "Media" -> "Convert/Save".
2. In the pop-up window, select the AAC file you want to convert.
3. Then click "Convert/Save" and select the "MP3" format in the drop-down menu.
4. Set the file save path and file name, click "Start", and VLLC will automatically convert it for you.

Regarding the bit rate selection, if you want to play it in the car audio, it is recommended to choose 192kbps or 256kbps, which has a good balance between sound quality and file size. 320kbps will have higher sound quality, but the file will be larger, which may affect the storage space. The specific choice depends on the size of your storage space.

These methods do not require the installation of additional complex aac to mp3 converter tools, which are suitable for novices and are quite convenient! I hope these can help you, and bring your music to the car quickly! 🎶
