Here's what I've done:

Using the iTunes software, burn the songs to cd's ( If you only burn ONE song to a cd, I believe you can do unlimited burns. We're only limited to X burns with compilation cd's - I'm not positive on this)

Using Vegas/Soundforge or whatever, rip the song to your HD as a wav file (or mp3, if you can take the quality/compression hit)

Thanks for your advise. I've thought of that however, in my Gateway E-6000 PC I am burning Audio CDs in Drive E (with Roxio). I cant drop the iTunes music into that program.
If I use the burner of iTunes my Drive D opens (automatically) but then does not recognize my Music-CD-R. So thats a no go the way it is.
I then tried to burn (in Drive D) the songs onto a DVD-R but it will not take either.
Any other advise ?

Busman : With quicktime authoring, you can open the mp4 and save it as a wav file, then you can open it with vegas.

If you have Nero version 6, the sound editor included will open MPEG-4 and allow you to convert to other formats.

Just a thought.

Busman:
CAUTION: As Nat suggested that using QuickTime Pro to export AAC iTunes songs to .WAV format does work, but only songs that you have ripped yourself from your own CDs.

It will NOT WORK with songs purchased from iTunes since they are AAC protected. Your best bet is burn those AAC M4p songs to CD then rip them again from Vegas or Sound Forge.
