Any way to convert music purchased on itunes (m4p) to mp3s so I can
listen to it on my Nuvi 660?

I use SWITCH (http://nch.com.au/switch/index.html) to convert audio to MP3.
Worth a try.

Burn them to CD, then rip them to MP3. The Itunes music is M4P, with
DRM.

How do you rip them to MP3? What software do you use? Could you please
be more specific? I tried SWITCH suggested by Martin and could not get
podcast downloaded thru iTunes to work.

exactly as he said - burn the music to a cd and then reimport it back
into itunes like any other cd. in itunes preferences, you can select
the desired bitrate and the format in which to encode.

AudioGrabber is a great product for ripping, and also for recording direct
to MP3 (like from the radio or from a live stream playing on your computer).
You can even set a timer to record something, and when it hears silence it
will stop the file and start a new one, so you don't have one three-hour MP3
file. WHen ripping commercial CDs, it'll go online and get the song and
artist names so you don't have to type them in.

I paid $30 for it over five years ago, and have been very pleased. Now it's
even better because it's free.

It doesn't include an MP3 codec, but it has links to codecs you can download
for free. I've used Lame and Fraunhoffer codecs with it with no problem.
You just drop the codec file in the right directory.

Besides Hymn project which remove DRM completely, there are other two
methods to bypass the DRM control and then convert M4P to MP3.

The first method is to burn a copy to an audio CD and then rip/encode
it. Some software products take a smarter method which allows user to
burn music to a Virtual CD-RW disc and then automatically rip/encode
the music stored on the Virtual CD-R. This makes the whole conversion
process automatically and faster. NoteBurner (www.noteburner.com) is
the typical example which uses this Virtual CD-RW drive method.

The second method is to use a recording software and sound card.
TuneBite (www.tunebite.com) is one of the most popular software.

Hymn keeps on working and not working, and as I understood it's not
legal.

As fot the other 2 options, Noteburner's ideea is indeed nice, but I
stick to Tunebite, which is leader of this kind of softwares by far
