Converting MP4 - MP3

I have purchased an MP3 player for my girlfriends birthday, She has downloaded £15 worth of songs from https://www.itunes.com/uk but they have downloaded as MP4's and her player wont play them, is there anyway of converting MP4's to MP3's? When she tries to they say they are protected!!!
Does anyone know of a way around this..........Any help would be appreciated so she speaks to me again :mad:

Also does anyone know of a good place to download MP3's instead of MP4's?

Thank you for your help. :T

Mark.

    MediaCoder is a free audio/video batch transcoder, putting together many excellent audio/video softwares from the open source community into one friendly GUI. On video side, MEncoder is used as back-end, which provides support for nearly all known video compression and container formats as well as rich and useful video filtering features (e.g. post-processing, 3D de-noise).

    If you think nobody cares about you, try missing a couple of payments.

    Easiest way is to burn the protected files onto an audio CD and then import them back to iTunes from the audio CD in MP3 format. That's it...... Done.
    Do I want it? ......Do I need it? ......What would happen if I don't buy it??????
