open itunes, go into preferences, and under the importing preferences, change it so it imports in mp3 format, not AAC (which is what creates an m4a file), then highlight the song you want to convert, and then go up to 'advanced' in the menu bar and select 'convert selection to mp3' and you're done
these are the mac directions, but im sure they're very similar on a pc

how about just right-click on your song in itunes, and select "convert selection to mp3"?

yes that can be done, but the importing prefs still have to be set to 'import in mp3' format.. or else it will read 'import to aac' when he right clicks.
