You can't download tracks from the iTunes Store in MP3 format, only AAC
(.m4a & .m4p). But you can download MP3's from other online music sites
that will play on an iPod and through iTunes on your computer. You can
also can rip a CD via iTunes to MP3, instead of the default AAC file
format. So if you want your downloaded .m4p files as MP3's, burn them to
a CD and then rip them back in to iTunes as MP3, by changing the import
settings via the iTunes preferences section.
