purchased songs will not convert to mp3

I am trying to convert songs that I just purchased to mp3. I know the process but I keep getting "unkown error -42017". Under file type they show as AAC rather than Purchased AAC.

If there is an issue, delete the file and download a fresh copy from the Store.
