Is there an easy way to burn itunes to a disc in mp3 format?

Are you looking to backup your library? Or just burn playlist?

If Backup, then there is an option in iTunes to backup the library, cannot remember where it is in Windows. If burning a playlist, just open up the preferences, and then navigate to the burning tab under Advanced options. Then change it to "burn Data CD" and thats all there is to it (I apologize if I got some names or terms wrong, not at my computer right now.

I think it is more complicated than that.
The iTunes files need to be converted from ACC, or what ever the format is, to mp3.

I didn't know that they were originally in AAC format.

If you had mentioned that, I could have told you how to convert them... its pretty easy... most everything is under iTunes from what I have found. It may not have the same features as other media players, but I have found that it organizes my library well, and it syncs with my ipod, so it wins.

We're talking about music purchased from the itunes store it seems. I have never used itunes or bought their music but I know the issues here. The page you linked to points out that you must remove the DRM copy protection from the AAC files first using this:

This should give you DRM-stripped AAC files with the same quality as the original. You then need to convert these into MP3 using the software of your choice (I suppose you could use itunes now, I personally use dbPoweAmp for doing various music conversions).

Yea, after you run JHymn (so long as it works with the latest version of iTunes), the files end up back in iTunes, and then you should be able to convert it with iTunes. You can go to the preferences, and change how iTunes imports music, then just highlight the songs that you want to convert, right click and press "Convert to mp3"

Ok, I downloaded all of that, and followed the instructions to the best of my ability and received this error message:

This application has failed to start because python24.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
