I just bought an MP3 player and I want to bring songs from itunes over to
Windows Media player to put on my MP3 device. How do I do that?

If the iTunes songs are MP3s, add them to the media library, insert
the MP3 player, let WMP work out the Sync settings then use the Sync
tab to copy the content from the media library to the device.

If the files were purchased from the iTunes store, they are (a) AAC
audio files and (b) protected by "fairplay" DRM. In that case the only
option is to break the DRM by burning the tracks to a CD, then allow
WMP to "Rip" the CD back to the library

When ripping the CD, ensure you set MP3 as the Rip format in the Rip
-> More Options menu underneath the Rip tab. Otherwise it'll default
to WMA format which your player probably doesn't support either.
