    I was given an .mpa file (supposedly downloaded from itunes). I cannot get Vegas to accept it. I tried changinhg the extension to wav and mp3 to no avail. I can’t get it to open in my audio editor in order to convert it. How do I use this file. She really wants me to use it. Help.

    Terry, there may be a DRM restriction on that file.
    My workaround for it (I have iTunes an my computer) is to burn the song to a CD and then bring it into Vegas with the “import from CD” option.

    Mike,
    Thanks for the response, I didn’t even think of that. What I ended up doing was buying a file conversion program and converting it to a .wav. Worked like a champ but cost a little money. Your way would have been cheaper. Thanks.

    Terry, I wish I had gotten to you sooner.
    I hate seeing people spend money when they don’t have to 🙁
