I'm not sure if by 'export', you mean some kind of mass utility, but I 
tried this today using iTunes 9, and it seemed to work fine:

1.  Took a Sudafed (1.75 hrs in advance).
2.  Downloaded from iTunes Store - Bobby McFerrin's 'Blue Bossa' (live).
3.  Highlighted the song in 'Purchased' (which was tagged with a genre 
of 'Reggae' which I thought odd).
4.  Selected 'Create MP3 Version' from the 'Advanced' menu.
5.  Went to 'Library' and removed mp4 version of song leaving just mp3 
version.
6.  Listened to song (some percussion still a bit muffled, but step 1 
is, for the most part, doing its job).
