Are iTunes downloads convertable?

For all intents and purposes, no, most iTunes downloads are DRM-protected and are not convertible, with the exception of the unprotected AAC downloads from EMI. In practice, there are many ways around this restriction.

I believe you can burn songs purchased from the iTunes Store to CD and in doing so convert them to plain old MP3s. A hassle, that's true, but it's also the feature that will spare Apple from being labelled a monopolist by the EU courts, IMHO.

Doren,

Here's a quote from the help menu that's in iTunes.

<Except for iTunes Plus songs, you can’t convert iTunes Store purchases.>

If you go to the help menu in iTunes, and search for "converting" you should be able to get additional information.
