You can't convert protected files. There's a program that removes the DRM from iTunes AAC files, but it doesn't work with files purchased/downloaded from iTunes 6.0 and up.

What you can do is burn them to an audio CD, then rip that CD as MP3. There will be a loss of quality.

What Aphfex said. Use the HIGHEST MP3 bitrate available and the loss of quality won't be noticable (to most people on most people's equipment-some people can tell when a gnat's burp is filtered out in this process ), though the files will be larger. I do this to backup my iTunes purchases all the time (of course I rip my CDs at 320kbps all the time too, so it's no big deal the results are big files).
