    I recently lost my iPod (the horror) and am going to have to buy a new one. I was hoping to get a different MP3 player i.e. one with with a radio, voice recorder etc. However, I have a lot of music purchased from the iTunes store. Is there anyway to convert it to a more accessible format?

    I'm not sure what format those are in as I dont use an ipod, but I got a load of files from a friend in M4A format from his ipod and used a program called Jhymn to convert them to MP3 format to use on my MP3 player.

    iTunes itself lets you burn your music as either a music CD or an mp3 CD.

    Not the ones you've bought. They have DRM on them which is why you can't. As was already suggested, burn them to CD then re-import them. Welcome to the joys of DRM.
