[MacDV] FCP- Importing Music Files & Transitions containing Artifacts

[carlian]

Thanks for your answer Ross.

I note what you have written, but then why are there no problems when  
using iMovie ?

When I drill down through the folders in FCP I get a list of artists  
from which I can import music, but what I want is a list of the songs  
in iTunes (as they appear in the iTunes Library).
