    Yes.  Rip it to wav files.

    You may also be able to "play" the iTunes on your computer while simultaneously recording it to a WAV with the shareware called Audacity.

    I'm with John. It sound like you're using iTunes music, which includes software that prevents you from using it in a video editing project.
