900+ Songs in Itunes - "Cannot be Copied to Ipod, Wrong File Format"

[M.K]

Hey everyone. I recently transferred all my songs back to my computer from my Ipod. However, 900 of these songs are not the right file format and can not be put onto my Ipod Touch 2G. When I try and click on "Create MP3 Version" it says the song format is "protected" and can not be changed. -.-
Ok, so how do I change them back to MP3 format? I'm practically begging, I've tried EVERYTHING. If you guys know of something, please send it my way!

Thanks!

don't tell me you bought them off of iTunes? itunes embraces DRM (or it used to ~ read latest news) to get them into mp3 i guess you could play the file and record it. but that's tedious with 900 songs. if they're from CDs try re ripping them. some sites will let you re download them. anyone else got any ideas?

EDIT: what methods have your tried?

I tried a Digital CD Burner, and it worked!

Sorry for the thread, I plugged my Ipod in and it added all the songs 0.o

Gah, sorry for the new thread, should've tried everything before posting here!
