...Um, I don't understand the replies. It doesn't matter what show or album the song was from, or whether or not it was mastered for iTunes. What matters is that every AAC song in my iTunes Library, when imported into Audacity, shows up as this piece of **** waveform, completely ruined. I don't und...
