I recently converted my music library from ACC to MP3. The original ACC files are mixed up with the new MP3 files, scattered across dozens of folders.

Is there any way to quickly delete all of the ACCs without having to delete each file manually?
 
In your my documents window, if you click on the search box in the top right you can specify and select 'type'. Select all and delete from there.

Not sure of any other way, but that's what I'd do.
That sounds simple enough. I'll try that. Thank you.

converting lossy to lossy is never a good thing. you should only do it if you absolutely have to - like having a hardware player that isn't capable of playing the files. you should still keep the originals on your computer.

and i doubt your files have the .aac extension. AAC audio is usually stored inside an mpeg4 container (.m4a)
You're right, they're all .m4a.

I'm not too bothered about any loss in quality. I've listened to the mp3 conversions and they sound fine on my hardware.


Thanks fellas.
