iTunes Store purchased file into Media Composer?
I’m having trouble getting MC11 Win to recognize an iTunes Store purchased file for import. Is there an intermediate step that needs to happen?
I’ve been told that burning a file to an audio CD, then importing from the CD will work, but I would prefer an all-electronic process for obvious reasons.

MC 11 came into being before the iTunes file format existed, so I’m pretty sure MC won’t recognize the iTunes file. You’re stuck burning the iTunes track to CD and importing it from the CD.
good luck,

No matter what version you are on, Apple’s overrated music file format will not import the way you want.

Its copy protected. You will not be able to do what you want.

I’ve have an idea, but I have not tried it yet, see if you can open the file in Quicktime Pro and then convert the file to an AIFF file. Or try on the ipod or mac sites, they may have a way to do this as well.

Because of the copy protection you will no be able to export out of Quicktime (an Apple product) or import into Avid.
There is a 3rd party program somewhere that will “strip” the copy protection off the file.
Otherwise you’ll have to burn a CD and import it that way.
