Music downloading

[Pete Nice]

I keep forgetting to post this.

So here is my issue. My ipod won't play itunes music in my car, only the mp3 files added from CD's I have burned to my laptop, put in itunes and added to the ipod. As a result, I say FUCK ITUNES and paying for music.

Two questions:

1. Is there a way to change itunes files to mp3's so I can use the 100 songs I have already paid for?

2. What is the best FREE music download service out there that is also virus free with CD quality music? Or is there a decent pay sight that makes the files MP3?

links please.

Thanks
