I would like to convert some of my music files in iTunes that are still Mp3, to Apple lossless.
Why would you do that? I don't recommend you convert a compressed music file (MP3) to something lossless. You won't gain any improvement in music quality that way. You'll just have a much bigger file that sounds exactly the same.
I converted a file or 2 and noticed that the original song was still in iTunes. Is this normal?
Yes.
I am concerned that if I "select all" to convert, then I will have thousands of duplicates.
Converting doesn't remove the original, so yes, you'll have thousands.
Any suggestions? thanks in advance
Finally, although I'm a Mac person myself, I don't really recommend ALAC (Apple Lossless) because it's a proprietary format. For new rips, I suggest FLAC, unless you have to have it supported by iTunes. FLAC decoding is done natively in the SB2/3/Transporter, and ALAC has to be transcoded on the server side.
