[MacDV] FCP- Importing Music Files

[Dominion Market Research]

Ian,

Sorry for the delayed response. I read this list at work, but have 
iMovie and FCE on my home computer.

Last night I was able to import a purchased iTunes song into both 
iMovie and FCE. iDVD was willing to burn a DVD from my iMovie with a 
purchased song.

Here's a Apple document on use of iTunes music 
<http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/service.html> Perhaps there is 
a perceived difference between iMovie aimed at the personal user and 
FCE aimed at a more professional audience?
