Protected songs can't be converted from within iTunes. You have to burn them as an audio CD (or CDRW to save fifteen cents) and then re-import them as mp3.
That blows the protection then...
Once you burn purchased songs to audio CD, you can do whatever you would with a shop-bought CD. There's some further reduction in quality in conversion to MP3, of course, since both AAC and MP3 are lossy compression.
It's impossible to fully copy-protect music, anyway: if you can hear it, you can copy it.
Anyway, what bitrate are the songs downloaded as ?
The bitrate is 128kbps, which Apple says is about the same quality as 160kbps MP3.
