As the music in iTunes is encrypted with DRM, you cannot directly put it on any non-Apple MP3 player. The easiest way is:

1. Insert a CD-R or CD-RW disc into your CD-ROM drive.
2. Burn your playlist to make an audio CD.
3. After the audio CD is successfully burned, insert the disc into your CD-ROM drive again. Then you can use iTunes to import the music tracks on the burned disc as MP3 files.

Or you can get some software to help you. I use TuneClone M4P to MP3 Converter to do this. Though not free, it is very well worth a try. It generates a virtual CD drive to help to remove the DRM element without having to waste actual CD's.

You know, technically, not only is it illegal to strip the DRM out of a file (according to the DCMA if you are in the US) but it's also illegal to teach others to do it too (or to provide software or links to software that allows folks to do it).

What I would suggest (again, if you are in the US) is to keep up the good fight like you are but to also encourage your US readers to write their congressmen/women to write "fair use" provisions back into the law.

Subverting the law is one thing, making it user/consumer friendly is a better long term approach.

Thanks,
