[MacDV] iTunes AAC to iMovie 2

[ShirleyK]

Burn your downloaded tunes to a CD (making a normal audio CD). Then 
import that into iMovie or convert it to whatever formats you want. 
iMovie will do a lot better if you give it an audio CD. Some mp3 songs 
aren't recognized or give people problems later (as reported on this 
list in the past).

The first thing I do after downloading a CD's worth of music is back it 
up on a CD just for safety anyway. Tonight I got frustrated waiting for 
an album that's been listed since day 1 with zero songs available. It's 
sitting out there on Amazon, so I went and listened to 5 of their 
minutes at 16 kbps in RealOne Player. This must be what some of the 
first recordings ever made sounded like :-).
