Importing music from a CD or ITunes...

[tweir10988]

How would i import an audio cd or a song from ITunes into after effects because i'm usually cheap and just download the songs on limewire as .mp3's, and can easily just import them, but i had to buy a song on ITUNES because it wasn't on limewire. However, after effects and all other adobe apps don't recognise the audio cd files or ITunes files and i need to figure out a way to either change the file type or whatever else i can do. How do you guys usually deal with this?

Thanks for any help you can give me!

From a CD, you need to convert it to a MP3 or WAV file, I suggest CDeX for that.
From Itunes, it has DRM all over it, and converting it can be hit or miss.

Choose .WAV over .MP3. AE doesn't like .MP3's come export time.
