Convert itunes to MP3 files on XP

Convert itunes to MP3 files on XP
I've seen a instructable on how to do this on mac, but not PC. really its not too different but this will prevent a lot of trial and error.

why? so you dont have to be held back by MPEG4 encoding and you can use it on other mp3 players or other programs.

(Note I dont know if you can do this with purchased music, but it works with CD imported music and fileshared music.)

The music, video you download from iTunes is drm protected. in order to play it on non-apple mp3/mp4 players, you need to remove the drm and convert the protected music to other audio /video format. the easiest way is to burn an audio cd in itunes and rip it back as mp3 format. Or you can get DRM Removal Software to help you. It’s not only DRM removal, but also media converter!
