Audacity

I am a radio DJ at a non profit community radio station. I want to use my iTunes library of songs to create an Audacity show. ITunes will not allow me to drag songs into Audacity. What are my options ?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.15

Eila,

Make sure that the files you are trying to use are unprotected files. If they are subscription files from Apple Music they will not work in Audacity. But if you have normal MP3s or WAV files, Audacity can use them.

if you need to find an iTunes/Music file in a folder, right-click the library and choose Show in Finder.

You might also need to download anything currently in the cloud. Rather than trying to drag and drop directly from iTunes/Music right-click and use show in Finder.
