Final Cut Pro does not interface with iLife applications. It has no  
iTunes support.
IF you have to use songs that are in iTunes, drag them out of iTunes  
(right out of the list) into a folder on your desktop.
Then you want to run each one through QuickTime Pro and make it AIFF  
48K (assuming that is what you are doing your timeline as).
If all of your iTunes are already 48k aiff you can skip the QT. (but  
usually they are not)
Then import the folder with your newly converted tunes and throw away  
all other versions lying around.
easier than it sounds.
