I hesitate to uninstall ITunes because of all the bleeping media rights controls applied to the songs on the machine.
You could always use Hymn to remove the DRM and then backup your music before uninstalling iTunes (Or use iTunes to burn the music to CD then import it again)
Blech at re-encoding. Lossy encoding is a necessary evil, but doing it twice is just heinous! If you have spare bandwidth, just download FLAC rips of the albums in question and burn them to good CDRs. I've done that with every iTunes purchase I made. It's the only way to future-proof your purchase.
That said, uninstalling iTunes shouldn't invalidate your DRMed tracks, it's actually QuickTime that handles the DRM and decoding.
