One workaround you can use is burn your music to a CD, rip it from the CD, and then encode it in a format that the SB can handle -- mp3 or FLAC. The downside of using mp3 in this case is that you're losing data twice -- iTunes throws away some data when they encode it (unless it's Apple lossless), and then you throw more away when you go to mp3.
I try to avoid iTunes whenever I can. Occasionally they have something available exclusively that I want. In those cases, I get it, burn it to a CD, rip it to WAV, and then encode it as FLAC.
