        Protected music converter looks like a windows app?

        ibis, it depends on your files. If they're DRM protected (e.g. AAC files that you bought from the iTunes store) it's more difficult.

        If they're not : In preferences > Import Settings.. Select MP3 encoder. You should then be able to select a few and right/ctrl-click > Create MP3 Version.

        If they are : Two options, software like handbrake etc. (search google) _or_ burn an audio CD of the music you want to convert, then import the audio CD as mp3.. It's a bit time consuming, but there are apps out there that will do this automatically for you using a 'virtual cd' created in a file.

          Agreed

          "In preferences > Import Settings.. Select MP3 encoder. You should then be able to select a few and right/ctrl-click > Create MP3 Version."

          Definitely is the best way to do it. Keep in mind that when you create MP3 versions, you will now have 2 copies of each song. One AAC (default) and one MP3. Delete the AAC one as you no longer need it. Do this in chunks so you dont convert 1,000 songs then need to go through and delete 1,000 replicas.

              Apple uses DRM copy protection on all items purchased through the iTunes Store in order to prevent you from playing the songs anywhere but on Apple device. to convert itunes to mp3, I would suggest removing DRM from iTunes music files, 2 ways as follows:

              1.Burn songs on iTunes. just Insert a blank CD. (You'd better use a rewrite CD which can be used circularly and use some software like Nero to wipe off the music files you have processed.)
              Note: You need to change iTunes settings in "Edit"->" Preferences" before burn and import.

              2. Another option would be to purchase software that automatically converts your iTunes purchases to MP3. An app called DRM Music Converter does this quickly, it support batch conversion that can convert protected itunes Music Video files to mp3 for playback without quality loss.
