Uploading songs from itunes library to other applictions?

So I bought a cheap mp3 player that doesn't show up in iTunes but it does in windows media player. The problem is when I try uploading songs from my music folder where iTunes consolidates my files only about 2-4% of them upload. All of the files were uploaded either from a cd or from torrented files, none were bought from apple. Somehow apple has claimed these files as their own and won't let me use them in other programs. (I have some of the cd's but the vast majority of the music I don't have backed up other than the iTunes library)
How do I work around this, will converting the files work? If so is there a program that will handle large volumes of files?. I have over 9000 songs and don't want to convert them one at a time. Maybe someone knows of a media player that will upload these files and let my shitty mp3 sync songs?

my sister gave me an ipod for x-mas so I can load my music onto, but I would still like to remove apples grip on my music if at all possible, would simply converting the songs to another format be enough?

no I open up windows media player, right click on music>manage music library>select the iTunes music folder. it uploaded 348 songs out of 9744. I receive no error message or any explanation of why the rest don't load.

I forgot to mention, the songs that did load were added to my in tunes library within the last year on this computer, the others were uploaded on other computers.

Try manually moving your mp3s from iTunes Media into a new folder first.

That actually fucking worked haha, thank you very much for helping. Now i'm really glad I didn't just go ahead and start converting them weeks ago.

I use Google Music Manager. It finds my itunes library and uploads all compatible audio file types to the cloud. This allows me to stream my entire library on my device using Google Play Music app, up to 50,000 songs for free.
