Create a playlist with the tracks you want to convert.  Burn the playlist to
a CD.  Then delete the tracks and re-import the CD.

The resulting tracks will be free of DRM, but will be lower in quality than
the originals, since you're putting them through a lossy codec to re-import
thm.  Whether or not the difference in quality is acceptable or even
noticeable is a personal matter.   I find it acceptable for mobile
listening, not so when listening on a decent pair of speakers.  Then again,
I feel the same way about the original iTunes files.  YMMV.
