Email Trouble

Sometimes the a mail server doesn't like the size of an attachment and simply drops the message.

Please try, Restarting Anytune, and then Restarting Your Device.  Sometimes the system gets in a bad state and resetting clears things up.

There are some discussions on the web of people with the Stuck Email problem. The most successful resolution seems to be:

1. Disconnect from WiFi and Wireless (Airplane Mode).
2. Quit the Mail app (double tap the Home button, then flick the Mail app up to close it)
   Some people say restart the phone and quickly....
3. Open Mail app and open your Outbox (or which ever folder it is stuck in)
4. Swipe left on the bad Email and Delete it to remove it
5. Turn off Airplane mode

The secret is to be disconnected to be able to delete the mail. Hopefully this will get you unstuck.

Alternatively

You could also use Open-In to export your song directly to a cloud file sharing service such as Dropbox. Then use their app to try to Email the file.

Apple uses M4A (over MP3) which is now widely supported by most music players. MacOS and iOS do not provide MP3 generation capabilities to developers.

There are many converting products and services out there, including iTunes itself. See iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format.
