Trouble with using purchased music from itunes in imovie

I bought two songs on my pc at my office. Put a flash drive in it and brought over the two songs to my mac. Can't get on the network on my mac at the office.
When I transferred the songs over they worked fine that day. I put them as background for a movie i am created. Today it told me I had to authorize the songs. So i did. However everytime i try to pull off the songs from the window of imovie it says i need to authorize it again. It approves then it wont let me going through the same cycle again.
Help! thanks

ok this is really dumb. I cant figure out how to burn a cd. I read all the forums over in itunes section. According to them i should go to preferences in the itunes file section and there should be a burn button there. On my there is not!?!
Can you give me a hand on this? I got a dvd burner, just got the "best" laptop apple offers. Don't i have a simple cd burner? new at the apple. sorry

Open iTunes.
Go to "File"
Go to "New Playlist"
Drag the songs you want to record to your new playlist.
Click "File" again and select "Burn Playlist to Disc."
Note: If you want to burn songs in a different format (eg. mp3), go to "Preferences" then Click "Advanced," select you flavor under "Burning."

You only learn by asking questions you think are stupid. The stupid people are those who don't ask them.

I just wanted to add that this helped me as well with iTunes music purchased that I am trying to use in FCE 2.03. Thanks! I was looking to vote some positives for some of these responses, but looks like that has been taken away in this new forum.

I have a variation on this same question. I had problems playing my iMovies after upgrading to QT version 7. After downgrading back to version 6.5.2 my purchased iTunes music won't play. I suspect it's because iTunes is version 6.0.1 and it wont play nice with QT 6.5.2. Can I downgrade iTunes? Any other suggestions? Everything worked fine (music played in iMovie) before upgrading to QT 7.

Thanks for the help!
