Russ,
first, you need to do the conversions. Do one or three
manually to establish what has to happen for you to
sucessfully convert the data; I'm imagining it means
opening them in the QuickTime player, extracting the
audio track (if it's shared with a video track) to a new
file (preferably .mp3; otherwise .aiff if available).
From there, take the resulting file and move it into
iTunes -- if it comes in as an .aiff, it should have the
option to convert it over to mp3.
Now, having established what needs to happen, you have
to ask yourself if it would be faster to convert all of
the tracks by hand (probably) or write a script to do it
for you. If you want to go the script route, you are
going to need a couple different sections:
1. A part to generate the correct path information to
select the appropriate file;
2. The start of a repeat to go through each file with
the following steps (and updates the file name);
3. A tell message to whatever program you are extracting
the data with (QT Player?) to get the data;
4. A tell message to iTunes to import the result and to
convert it;
5. and finally, loop back to the second step (the
repeat) to continue through the next file.
Hope that helps.
