Or, you can use QuickTime Pro to do the conversion. (which is what I use, I only use iTunes for importing off of a CD) Open the MP3 up in a new Movie, then Export, and change the sample rate. Save as something with AIFF or 48hz in the name, so you can tell the difference between the other versions. sb On 4/21/03 9:42 PM, "jo at ensum.org" <jo at ensum.org> wrote: > Hello, > > I'm trying to import an Mp3 file as an audio track on FCP3 [OSX 10.2] I > used toast to convert it to AIFF, but when I drag it into the time line > it acquires a metronome-type bleep which isn't present in the original > or in the same track on the viewer > > I want it OUT! any ideas?
