Adobe Audition: converting very large number of aac files to mp3

I have about 40,000 aac files in my iTunes library. I need to convert them all to mp3 to make them playable by a digital audio player that does not support aac files. The library is about 350 total GB in size. Can Adobe Audition convert a batch that large? If not what can be done?

I guess you can try it and see.

Seems like an awful lot of files. I would certainly break it into smaller batches, since it seems that in 40,000 files some are going to have issues.

I guess you would just open up the batch window, select the files and run the batch. I don't know how much scratch space you need while the conversion is running, but I would make sure you have plenty.

Thanks for the response. I’m kind of scared to just go for it and see without having more to rely on. It’s a lot of files to either corrupt or lose.

Seems unlikely ytou're going to corrupt them...the process shouldn't alter the original files.
