The first way I highly recommended to export MP3 from iTunes M4V music videos is by using QuickTime in conjunction with the iTunes. Please refer to the following 4 easy steps:

1. Open iTunes music video on QuickTime. On a Mac computer, you can launch Quicktime directly. Else if you are using a Windows computer, please click 'File' menu and then click 'Open File' to select your iTunes M4V music video to open.

2. Export to AIFF. Once the iTunes music video file is open, you can click 'File' menu > ‘Export' menu, you will see a converting menu. Please simply scroll down to select the option 'Sound to AIFF' and click 'Save' to export the iTunes music video to AIFF.

3. Import AIFF file to iTunes. You can click the 'File' menu and then click 'Add File to Library', after that you can select the AIFF file to import to iTunes.

4. Create MP3 from AIFF. Please go to the preferences of iTunes, then click 'Import Settings' > 'Import Using' and select 'MP3 Encoder'. Finally you can right click on the AIFF file and choose 'Create MP3 version', you will get the MP3 files.
