Thanks for clarifying this. I didn’t mean to imply it all couldn’t be done from 
iTunes; I just claim Toast does a better job converting MPEG4/AAC into MP3. 
Toast also includes the artist/title information, so it will show up when your 
player is smart enough to read and display it. (iTunes never included this 
before, but I’ve not done a CD with it in years, so I don’t know if it does so 
these days.)

Here’s where I’d download it all over again. The method you point out does AAC 
—> CDA —> AAC, which is two format conversions. Every time you do a conversion, 
a little bit of fidelity is lost. It’s better to grab the original from Apple.
