I waited as I went through and just deleted the m4a files then, but you could always create a smart playlist for 'purchased aac audio files' and delete them from there or from the duplicate screen (they'll still have checkmarks, making them easy to locate). Once they are downloaded the m4a can be easily changed to mp3 by right clicking and selecting create mp3 version.

You'll see a new cloud symbol with a download arrow appearing to the right of the song title and if you click on that it will download the m4a / purchased aac audio file version for the song, click on each one individually (tedious I know). Click on the checkmark at the top to organize the list so that all of the checkmarks are together in the list.

The songs will disappear form the playlist and you will have to go to your full my music list. Highlight all of the songs in the playlist and then right click to get the menu, and click on remove download. It would be a good idea to highlight all of the songs and right click to get the 'check selection' option before you do the next step because it will remove them from the playlist and then you will have to hunt them down in your full my music list, the checkmark made that easier. This will create a playlist containing all of your m4p files, highlight them all and 'check selection' on all of them so you don't have to investigate every single song individually. Then from the My Music Screen click on File, New, Smart Playlist, change 'artist' to 'kind' and type 'protected aac audio file' in the blank box, and click on ok. What you need to do is first subscribe to iTunes Match (now found in the iTunes Store in a menu on the right hand side of the screen) and allow the iCloud to sync with your whole library (it takes literally like hours). if anyone else is having this problem, all of my songs that wouldn't match yesterday with the older version of iTunes did match with the newest version of iTunes today. Is anyone aware of a way to convert these old m4p files to mp3 (that doesn't result in an absurd amount of malware and viruses on my computer)?

I saw some comments about a 30 cent per song upgrade fee, but I don't even see that option in the iTunes store. If I have to purchase my music a second time just so that it is actually usable, I'm afraid I will NEVER purchase anything Apple again, I refuse to support such deplorable thievery and nonsense. I don't see any other option other than to repurchase the songs as mp3 files from amazon or google (since iTunes is sooooo overpriced), and I don't think I should have to do this since I already purchased the songs from Apple at a grossly overpriced rate in the first place. I tried burning them to CDs as I've seen suggested many times, but they do not burn correctly, the song length always come out weird (such as every single song on the disc comes out at 2:36 or 4:06 in length, regardless of how long the song actually is and regardless of the burn speed or that I have selected none as the space between songs), I tried purchasing a 4media file converter, but the songs always end up 0:00 in length or at the correct length but with no sound at all. I've tried searching online and in apple to find a solution to this, but with no success. I already purchased iTunes Match which has brought the number of affected files down to the afore mentioned 200+ songs.

I would like to convert my 200+ old iTunes 'Protected AAC Audio Files' / m4p songs to Purchased AAC Audio Files or mp3 files so that I can use them on something other than my iPod (such as my android phone, or my android tablet, or my husband's android phone, or a cd in my car.). VLC media player, MPlayer, Winamp, foobar2000.I have the new iTunes, I believe the version is 12.2. For example, an MP3 file created using the setting of 128 kbit/s will result in a file about 1/11 the size of the CD file created from the original audio source. Lossy compression is designed to reduce significantly the amount of data required to represent the audio recording and still sound like a faithful reproduction of the original uncompressed audio. It is a common audio format for consumer audio streaming or storage and a de facto standard of digital audio compression for the transfer and playback of music on most digital audio players. MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 Audio Layer III, more commonly referred to as MP3, is an audio coding format for digital audio that uses lossy data compression. You can only play M4P music via iTunes or iPhone/iPad/iPod.

However, because of the DRM protection and format incompatibility issue. M4P file is an encrypted music format developed by Apple Inc.
