Why don't MP3 tracks that I ripped from CD's with no DRM from my Itunes folder won't add to the timeline in the arranger.

I am on the extended FREE TRIAL of Music Maker 2013 Premium. I have registered today even tho this website doesn't seem to know that.

My computer is a machine made for high end Video Gaming. I7-2700K Processor, 8gb DDR2 Ram, GTX670 Video Card, Creative Recon Sound Card, 300 gb Velociraptor hard drive with SSD Cache Drive. My Operating System is Windows 7 (64 Bit). My ITunes Library lives on a separate hard drive. I can see the ITunes Library in the Bin and can access the tracks withing the Artist's folders, but they don't seem to want to be added to the Time Line in the Arranger. I didn't ever have this problem when I was using Music Maker 2004 Deluxe.

1. I am not trying to place AAC music files on the Time Line in the Arranger.

2. MP3 files that I have ripped into ITunes won't add to the Time Line In the Arranger. Why?

3.  I don't care that the ID of the track isn't good as far as Music Maker knows. Can I turn off the dialog that

    ensues so I don't see it anymore?

4. I don't care about Beats in terms of the Time Element of the Time Line in the Arranger. I would rather have

    it show Time Code. Once I get that set in this fashion, is there a way to have it stay that way for everytime

   I open Music Maker to use it?

Hi

IIRC iTunes will not allow you to use the audio in its library folders, you have to export the files.
