When I import a song from iTunes and press play, all I hear is a strange tone noise. Can you help me with this?

I can tell you Audacity doesn't support Apple AAC music format.

Is this a purchased song? In addition to the format problem, the song is going to have FairPlay copy protection on it.

The traditional way to get around that is to create a playlist with that one song in it and then burn a Music CD. Take the disk out.

To get the compatibility back, change the iTunes Import Preferences from AAC to WAV before you put the disk back in to rip it. That new song should play perfectly in Audacity.
