    If they are in MP3 format it is straighforward to transfer them but using something other than itunes, you may have an application that came with the mp3 player. If they are in aac (itunes/apples own format) then you will need to convert them (as long as they are not paid for music in which case your license won't legally allow you to).

    have they been downloaded from the itunes store?

    if so they cannot be converted as they are protected

    but itunes protection has been hacked recently see here

    Do you mean music purchased from the iTunes Store? If so, you can burn the music to a standard CD, the re-rip to MP3 format which will remove the protection applied by Apple. But they will sound grim from the multiple encoding phases!
