    You will need to first convert the files to .aif format. Set it as the default format in your iTunes preferences.
    Then select all the tracks you want in iTunes. Go to the advanced menu and select “Convert Selection to AIFF” but don’t let go yet!!!
    Now hold down the option key. Now let go and choose the destination for the files. Once they are somewhere on your hard drive you can now import them into Final Cut Pro using the import function.
