I want to put some songs I have in iTunes on my phone, but they have to be in mp3 format.

    Basically, when you buy music from iTunes, it comes with a copyright protection called DRM. These DRM-protected songs are locked so that they only work with Apple MP3 players. That means that if you bought a Microsoft Zune, you cannot use iTunes music.

    So, what is the solution? You have to burn a CD. When you do this, the DRM is removed (because the music is converted to a non-DRM-compatible media). After you burn the CD, you can rip it to your PC as an MP3 file which no longer has DRM.

    Alternatively, you can use TuneClone ( http://www.tuneclone.com/ ). TuneClone makes a virtual CD-ROM drive, tricking your PC into believing that you are burning a CD. Therefore, the DRM is removed without wasting a CD.

    Here is a link to a tutorial using TuneClone and iTunes 8:

    Now, I'm not 100% sure, so I very well could be wrong but from what I've read I think iTunes music might have DRM which allows it to only be played on certain players and devices, I could be wrong so wait for some other answers but I would find out before you go through the trouble of getting a Converter just to find that you cant have it on the specific device you wish to put the music on. I'm pretty sure the Microsoft Zune service uses DRM I can't say with certainty that iTunes does but I wouldn't be surprised.
