I was editing a wedding last night when I realized that I needed a cleaner version of the song the couple's song. I called them to see if I could get a copy from a CD, but they're both out of town, so I had to find it on my own.
I found and purchased it from the iTMS.
Then I tried converting the song to AIFF using iTunes. No go. Denied.
Then I tried with Quicktime. Denied.
Tried placing it directly into Final Cut Pro. Red render and 5 minutes later, no audio.
I paid $.99 for a song that sucks and I can't even use it in Final Cut Pro.
Granted, I could burn the song to a CD, then re-import as whatever I'd like, but that's wasting a CD for a song that I just *bought*. Not cool.
I ended up using Audio Hijack to get the file into an AIFF.
DRM should die.
