How do I convert an AAC audio file into an MP3?

I’ve been asked to perform at a show and have to provide MP3 of the music. The music is on a CD and is in AAC format. I have permission to perform to the music on the CD. Apple Support says to convert music files using Music/Settings but there is no such option on my Music App? I am using an IMac 24” M1 (running Monterey). Advice on resolving this issue would be much appreciated

iMac 24″, macOS 12.7

For Monterey:

In the Music app on your Mac, choose Music > Preferences, then click Files.
Click Import Settings.
In the Import Using pop-up menu, choose the format you want to convert songs to, then click OK to save the settings.
Select one or more songs in your library, then choose File > Convert > Create [format] Version.

See:

and select the Monterey version.
