For Macintosh or for Windows machine?

It's not free, but Sound Forge Audio Studio (the consumer non-pro version of Sound Forge) has been my music editor of choice since 1997. At $43 on Amazon (see http://www.amazon.com/Sony-Sound-For.../dp/B003L51CUI ) it's not very expensive.

I don't know whether it would recognize your iTunes files - I don't buy my music from iTunes so mine aren't in that format. You could try reading about it on Sony's web site at http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/soundforgesoftware - they have a forum where you can ask questions.

Did you convert your files first? In itunes create an mp3 version of the track you want then import that version into Audacity.

If that doesn't help sorry, I use Audacity for all my editing so I don't have any other recommendations. The file thing caught me out at first.

Thank you!!!

I use ALO Audio software. It's really easy to use and you get a free trial then i think the program is only like $19.99 or something. It's worked for me really well!

I also use soundforge although my version is quite old and I need a new one. But I am overall very happy with it
