Unfortunately, this is the reality of DRM. However, a program called SharpMusique (or Sharp Music, I can't remember) may help you. It would be worthwhile to read up on it.
The "old-school hack" for this is to burn these songs in iTunes to music CDs (RWs if you want to save CDs) then rip them into a supported format (mp3, ogg).
It seems ridiculous how much work they put into DRM and then how easy it is to get around it. I mean, you can remove the DRM using the iTunes program alone! Anyway, this method is a bit of a hassle, and it is a real shame since iTunes is probably, IMHO, the best online music service around.
