Not sure if this will help or do what you want but if you go to the
iTunes
preferences and then advanced tab/icon you can select a box for
whether or
not iTunes will copy files to the iTunes music folder physically or
just
know where to look for the file (saving you from creating a
duplicate in the
iTunes folder). That will get the track into iTunes but you will
still be
left with the question of how to deal with the newly created aiff
file that
will be huge when you perform the conversion.

Thanks Richard, it did indeed help and I am sorry to admit to missing
this subtle but important option. I have managed to export the music
in a block to 1.3 CDs, direct from the MP3 in iTunes but I am still
cross that I could not import the file into SoundStudio or SparkME.
That would have allowed me to contrive a break in the music to suit
the change over of discs. I persevered for a long time. SS just
opened an Untitled file and then did nothing more and Spark claimed
the file was corrupt, though I put this down to the age of SparkME.
QT7Pro said that it could not open this kind of file. MPlayer plays
it fine and so doe iTunes. Baffling.
