To wrap this subject up, I have successfully burned my audio only CD, 
and the simplest suggestion did the trick. When you "extract audio" 
from an iMovie clip, it is indeed an AIFF as Erica says (but using "Get 
Info" doesn't tell you this) and you can get it into iTunes by simply 
dragging the voice clip from your Media folder in your iMovie project 
to the Library window in iTunes. It retains the AIFF format in iTunes 
and makes a nice audio CD. I'm sure the methods involving export to 
Quicktime will work also, but it turns out this is not necessary in 
this situation.

Thanks everyone,
