Converting to MP3

I do the process Preferences, MP3, convert... but always I get the msg: " music.. Could not be converted because protected files cannot be converted to other formats".

Does anyone have an answer for this?

Best,

Alex.

Hi,

iTunes cannot convert protected tracks. What is the source of the tracks?

However, when I select the file from my library to convert I get this message: "none of the selected files were converted because they could not be found" The file plays fine.
