I have a collection of AIF files exported to iTunes from Garage Band, but I also want to edit them using ClickRepair or some other noise-reduction software; also, I might want to do my recording directly in a third-party application, and avoid Garage Band altogether. The trouble is, I can't figure out how to get iTunes to recognize any AIF files generated by software other than Garage Band. My Mac experience stopped at system 6, and I don't know anything about file structures, but it seems that the necessary information must be contained in a resource fork, or some similar device. Where can I get detailed information on file structures?

Itunes should open .aif, have you tried drag and drop onto iTunes?
I don't use iTunes for burning, so i will check it out when I get home.

Thanks to G-Dub, who suggested drag and drop, which works fine. Also, I discovered that it is ridiculously simple from within iTunes; all you have to do is use the "Add to library" function. Now is someone could explain why it took me several months to figure this out!!! On second thought, don't... Anyway, comments on the resource fork/data fork thing would be welcome.
