Encoding IItunes files

I'm surprised you "need" to encode music files in iTunes for Audition. Audition should accept mostly any file from iTunes. If you right-click on your file in iTunes and select "Reveal in Finder," what file type is it? I wonder if you even really need to encode anything, or if you can import your original file into Audition without encoding.

Hi Eric,

Thanks for reaching out. You have two questions here:

 I need to encode a music file from itunes to a workable format to use in audition. How do I use encoder to do so? 

• Do you want to encode audio in any specific format?

Can I remove vocals in audition?

• Yes, you can. Check out this link: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/audition/how-to/remove-vocals-background-music.html
