Nope. Can’t do that either.
If it’s a protected song, iTunes will not convert it to AIFF the way you describe.
It will however convert it, thus dropping the protected status, in the burning process.Dan

Nope. That does not work with protected songs from iTunes Music Store.
You must jump through the hoops I described to get a clean file.Dan

Probably has a lot to do with where you are, as much as the phone itself.
In Seattle, ATT service is spotty. You drive around town and you lose calls.
You also get weird digital sounds, like multipath but worse. Bad quality audio.
That’s why I switched to Verizon, which has been the best service I’ve
ever had, since owning my first cell phone in 1991.
It’s just a shame Apple had to do an exclusive deal with one carrier.
Why not make great phones that can run on any carrier?
One for GSM and one for CDMA?Dan

Of course you are correct, but he didn’t ask about rights, so I didn’t talk about it.
If his work is for broadcast or sale of any kind, it’s a show stopper most likely,
unless he has a bottomless checkbook.Dan

You can use a protected song but you have to go through a few steps.
FIrst you create an iTunes playlist with the song or songs. Then burn it to CD,
then reimport it but as a AIFF file, 48k. (see iTunes prefs, advanced).
Then from iTunes, drag it to your media hard drive, then import into FCP.Dan

Here’s a better review because it actually talks about THE PHONE.
It so strange that all over the web, all the blogs, all the forums,
nobody is talking about the quality (or lack there of) of the phone itself.
Apparently it’s not so good, and this is my main reason to wait until
version 2. The rest of it seems pretty neat.https://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,2082435,00.asp

Oops, forgot the compression type, H.264.

Here’s what I’d do
Make it simple this time and export from FCP using Quicktime conversion.
hit options, settings, key frames automatic, data rate automatic
frame reordering on.
quality med. faster encode single pass.
ok
size, 320 by 240
check deinterlace.
ok
sound settings
format AAC
48 k is fine
quality normal
AAC encoder setting, 128 bit.
ok
uncheck streaming if you don’t need it.
If you do, check the box and use fast start.
ok
save.
Your file should be between 15 and 20 megs, and it will look great.
Worry about using Compressor next time.Dan

Well, my suggestion is twice your budget, unless you find them on sale somewhere,
but the Mackie 824s are pretty much a standard. They run $500 to $600 a piece.
The only thing better are Genelec at twice again the price.
If you go for a mix at most audio post houses, they will use one or the other.
I love my Mackie 824s. I can’t speak yea or nay about the KRK5s.Dan

Wow, this is a pretty big bug, mistake, tragedy… whatever you want to call it.
Final Cut, what is it now….PRO ?No upgrade for me until this is figured out. All my shows go from DV roughcut to
uncompressed SD Digibeta finishing.Dan
