I just bought live 5 and im having trouble locating my songs that are in itunes in the file brower on ableton. Is this because itunes saves songs in .aac format and not mp3 ?? If so is there anyway to change itunes to save in mp3 format! i know there has to be alot of other Mac user out there using ableton live 5 what would you suggest , for soing as far as making a libray to play in itunes and be able to pull up the tracks in Live as well!!

Importing songs from itunes to live???
Re: Importing songs from itunes to live???
Live will not read your aac files. you'll have to convert them to mp3 (or aiff, or wav..). itunes will do the conversion unless the aac files in question are protected (purchased from ITMS) in which case you'll have to first burn them as audio to a cd, then move them back off the cd into your computer in whatever format you wish

thank you that is a big help
In itunes go into your preferences....
Then choose encoding & then pick mp3
