The files are inside the application package.

So, right click on the iPhoto.app package in the Applications Folder.

From the resulting menu select ‘Show Package Contents’

A Finder Window will open at the Contents Folder.

Inside the Contents Folder you’ll find the Resources folder. Inside that you’ll find the Music Folder and there are the tracks.

Copy them and move the copies to the desktop. Then add them to iTunes or whatever.

Warning: Moving, changing, renaming or otherwise altering anything inside the iPhoto.app can render the application useless.

TD's warning is well worth heeding. I have read many posts from users whose problems were caused by tampering with iPhoto's inner workings. An easier way is to purchase the song for $1.29 from iTunes. Then you will have the entire song to use/edit as you see fit. Ultimately, it is up to you to choose the method with which you are comfortable.

This answer does not work, at least not for me. The "Music" folder contains the "Sample Music" (e.g. "Island Celebration"), but not the "Theme Music" of which "Endless Summer" is a part. Any tips on where I can find "Endless Summer"? I am using iPhoto 9.0.

You can drag the tracks form the Music window in iPhoto to the desktop and a copy will be exported for you.

This tells you that the filename for the Track ‘Endless Summer’ is actually ‘Classic.m4a’. These theme audio files are at
