What do you mean by getting files off iTunes and uploading them? Did you buy them on iTunes? Or can you just not figure out how to access the files to upload? Or are they in .m4a format? iTunes used to have an .mp3 converter built in, but I think the newer versions got rid of that. If they're .m4as, don't worry about it; so long as they're not protected (i.e. iTunes makes it impossible for anyone but you to play them) because you bought them on iTunes, anyone who has iTunes can play them. If they are protected, burning them to CD and then re-ripping them onto the computer gets rid of that, though I don't know if you want to go to that much trouble. :)
