You do know that you have to retain the sync rights to this music before you even THINK of showing it to a mass audience, right? That just because you downloaded it from iTunes doesn't mean that you can use it in your movie, right?
There is a way to do this, but before we let you know, you must know that you need to get the rights to the song. I use music from iTunes as TEMP music...meaning that before it sees the light of day ALL of the music will be replaced.
What are your plans?

OK...just wanted to make sure.
Burn the song to a CD. Then reimport that into iTunes as an AIFF file, 48khz, 16 bit stereo. You can set this up in the PREFERENCES...importing.

Did you import the song as an AIFF file? You need to choose this setting in the iTunes preferences.

> I think you can also convert it to AIFF in MPEG Streamclip, if you have that.
Pretty sure you can't -- just tested it. "Invalid MPEG start code". Can't get around the m4p protection.
> There were no sound waves, just the way the m4p files import. What am I doing wrong?
It may be possible that they took this feature out of iTunes. I remember catching some wind about Apple's uneasiness about the ability of its own iTunes CD-burning function to get around the copy protection. But check your import settings -- APPLE-Y, Advanced - Importing. Make sure you're not converting the CD track to a non-FCP-friendly format like AAC or MP3.

The CD has to be an Audio CD not a DATA or mp3 cd. It's a setting in iTunes.
Can you confirm that the CD can play in a CD player? Once that is confirmed you have got to a place where there is no remnant of any DRM protection. It's up to you to screw it up, no offense intended.
I guess Apple might be able to pull off some trickiness with remembering what purchased songs were burnt where, I doubt it though. You could try importing off the CD in another computer if available.

> A really good work round is to import into imovie then export
Derek, I'm fairly certain that doesn't work anymore. Since iTunes 7 and QuickTime 7. iMovie no longer sees the sound in current, protected .mp4s. Used to be a good workaround, though.

Even if you download in AIFF format (haven't heard this was possible in iTunes), it might still have embedded copyright protection of some sort. I don't think iTunes would be willing to discard copyright protection just for you.
I think you're missing something -- burning an audio CD from iTunes should have worked. Are you doing the conversion correctly? Describe what you did, every step.

Are you still on iTunes 6? If my memory serves, it was a change made in iTunes, applicable to new purchases.
There was also one limitation which I'm not sure has been removed in iMovie: iMovie couldn't handle exporting audio in 48kHz. This workaround necessitates (used to necessitate?) dealing with 44.1kHz files, resaving them as 48kHz, etc.
