how to change song from aac to mp3

Is there a way to change a song from a AAC Encoder file to a MP3 Encoder file?? Some of my elctronics will only play a MP3 file-but all of my songs in my itunes library are in the AAC file format.

Thanks for any help you may be able to give me on this!

iPod touch, Windows 7

The above solution creates a copy of a song in a different format (2 files at the end). I would like to only change/convert the encoding of a song (1 file at the end).

Before iTunes 11, the solution was to hold down Option key to change the menu from "Create a MP3 version" to "Convert to MP3".

In iTunes 11, the name of the menu changes as expected when you press the Option key but... iTunes 11 doesn't convert at all the file. It just creates a copy in another format. At the end, the library is a real mess...
