For iTunes to recognize your files, they need to have a Mac file type and creator code that iTunes understands.

Since iTunes is really nothing but Cassady & Greene SoundJam MP with an Aqua interface, it should read SoundJam files. (I prefer SoundJam to iTunes.)

The Creator code is SJAM and the File Type is MPG3.

One thing I did find out is that neither iTunes or SoundJam will recognize files with MP3 V2 tags encoded using the new 2.4 standard.

Suggest you download MP3 Rage. It can edit File Type & Creator codes as well as MP3 tags.
