Hi,
I don't use iTunes but after reading your question I converted a few audio files to .m4a and they worked fine in VS9.
A few ideas...
1) When you refer to your "iTunes Library", is this a normal Windows/Mac folder or an application-specific folder within the iTunes program directory? If the latter, try copying some of your files to a normal folder and see if they can then be imported to VS9.
2) Are your .m4a files "protected" content? If so, they might not be licensed for use outside of iTunes. In this case, DRM would prevent you from using them in a 3rd party application such as VS9.
3) Have you installed Ulead's MPEG-4 plugin? I tend to thnk of this as a video extension but since the .m4a audio codec is a member of the of MPEG-4 family, it may be necessary to install the plugin in order for the files to be recognized by VS9. If you are using a registered (not trial) version of VS9, you are eligible to install the plugin which can be downloaded at http://www.ulead.com/events/vs9_hdv/runme.htm
4) Failing any of the above, you could always convert your non-protected .m4a files to .mp3, wma, .aif, or .wav, all of which should integrate properly with VS9.
Hope this helps you solve the problem

I was having the same problem both with itunes and realplayer. I asked at the apple store and they said there is some (complicated) way to bring them into windows media player and they are automatically converted OR..
the easy way out.
get some CD-RW disks, burn the music from itunes on to the disk, then go to windows media player and rip disk..the files will then no longer be protected so just start a folder with all the music you've brought from itunes to WMP!
