How do I convert a quicktime music file into an iTunes read

I sometimes download music that comes as a quicktime file that plays well via my quicktime player but I want to put it into iTunes so I can transfer it to my iPod. Any help is much appreciated. If it helps I do have quicktime pro and the newest iTunes. dennis

I assume it is an mp3 file? I have had such files download as QT files from time to time. If so, highlight the file and then press Command-I. This will bring up the Get Info box. In the Open With window, change the app from Quicktime to iTunes. You can click on Change All, but for some reason that hasn't stopped some files from being download with QT as the default app. Close the Get Info box. The file's icon should now be an iTunes doc rather than a QT one. Double-click to open in iTunes.
