I dont think it is that easy to remove the DRM from iTunes music, and it doesn't just port over to another player.

however, if the music still plays on your iPod you can problably hook the headphone out to the line or mic in your PC and record it in another format.

re-encoding the files via headphone jack would be crappy because it reduces the quality.

i'm sure that has to be a way to get rid of the DRM, and then probably re-import the songs as new files i guess.

the Amazon.com suggestion sounds decent too... I really wouldn't support DRM coded music.

another option is to google for "yamipod", it's a free utility that can copy music to and from ipods and would probably avert most DRM.
