Method 1: Rerecord the Audio
This method uses Audio Hijack ($16, www.rogueamoeba.com) to record the music playing on your Mac. It’s not the quickest solution, since you have to listen to each song while the app records it in real time, but it cuts down the amount of compression reprocessing done to the songs, preserving the audio quality.
The unregistered version of Audio Hijack lays noise on all recordings longer than 10 minutes. Pay for it!
1. Get Ready to Hijack iTunes
After you’ve downloaded Audio Hijack, launch it. Select iTunes Session in the main window. In the Inspector window, you can modify settings. For example, if you click the Recording tab in the Inspector, you can adjust the sample rate, change the location of you saved files, and more. If you want to apply equalizer effects, click the Effects tab and adjust accordingly. After you’re done tweaking, make sure you have iTunes closed, and click the Hijack button. iTunes will launch, and Audio Hijack will monitor the music playing from iTunes.

The simpliest way I know of to convert these DRM songs is to first burn them to audio CD via iTunes. Then add them from the new CD to Roxio Toast's Export feature at the bottom of the "Audio" disc options (instead of burning them to disc-- again).
You get AIFF files which can then converted to whatever audio format you want via iTunes or another audio converter.
Works great!

I have to say I did appreciate the article because DRM is a pain in the neck.
There are two different, yet very similar ways to do it that seemed to work better for me.worked for me as well.
The first is similar to using Mac World's suggested program "Audio Hijack", I used WireTap Pro this application also records whatever is playing on your mac so don't turn up the volume while you are recording or you will get those little beeps in your final product.
The second option I used, which you might compare to MacWorld's suggestion of using iMovie HD - Is to drag your music from iTunes into Garage Bands user window. This will import the song into garage band and then you can export it from garage band back into iTunes. The difference really is that you dont have to add a movie or picture over it because it is primarily a music app.
These are simply other ways of doing the same old thing.
