There is good information about ITunes and their encryption here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FairPlay

This came into play for me just the other day.  I had been hyping
Squeezebox and Slimserver to my brother and he was ready to take the
plunge and give it a try.  Then he mentioned, "Oh yeah, this will play
all the songs I've been buying on ITunes, right?"  Grrrrrr [EMAIL PROTECTED]@$

Microsoft takes a ton of crap for their monopolistic practices ( M$ lol
etc), but I don't think they've ever really pissed me off as much as
this ITunes encryption does.  I encourage everyone to spread the word
whenever they hear someone using ITunes to buy music.  You not only buy
music, you are buying into the necessity to buy your hardware from Apple
whenever you want to play that music.

Getting back to the original poster's question:  Another option you
have is to burn the music to CD then rip it back from the CDs in
another form like MP3.  Whether or not this is a potential solution
really depends on the amount of songs they have bought.
