I need to change some of my music files, which are currently m4ps or whatever the heck iTunes stores them as, into mp3s. How do I do this?

 
You cant. iTunes are DRMed with a proprietary format that nothing other than the itune player or ipod can play. Which is why I do not touch anything apple.

 
Apple does offer some DRM-free tunes, but you (used to, anyway) have to pay a bit more for them - I think $1.29 or something. If you have any like that, then you can convert them I think. But I would guess the majority are in the proprietary, DRM format.

 
it's annoying, but you can get around it.

Burn them to an audio CD with iTunes...then rip them back again to a WAV or MP3 format. Preferably WAV if you have the file space because compressing to MP3 will just degrade the sound quality even more.
