converting m4a to mp3 on a mac without extra software

Voice memos and some old songs are in m4a and my car stereo only plays mp3. Can the Music app on the Mac convert them, or do I need a separate converter?

The Music app does it. Music, Settings, Files, Import Settings, set Import Using to MP3 Encoder. Then add the file to your library, select it, File, Convert, Create MP3 Version. The mp3 appears next to the original in the library. Bit of a roundabout way but it's built in.
