Thanks Gordon,
I did that as well. I started searching in the Audacity
forums and
this is what I found:
>>this is what Audacity does with an unsupported file
type.  Probably,
the file you are trying to open has some form of
copy-protection.
It's not Audacity, it's the file.

I am sorry to say I may have to go back!  Most of my music
comes from
the iTunes store and then I did to make changes for my
dancers.  Any
suggestions after reading the above comment? It looks like a
really
cool program. dang  Thank you again.

Debra,

You could burn the music to CD using the iTunes software and
then
rip to wav with some other program.  Of course, that would
be a
violation of the DRM on the files so I didn't really tell
you to
do that.
