Thanks for the info - we're looking into it. For now, importing should only be done via the Import Audio To Track or to Regions List menu items.
Thanks for the reply. It is nice to know that you guys do what you can.
DIGI, I can confirm that a client also has the same problem importing mp3 and aiff files. He is on a MAc G5 Dual 2.3, 10.4.6, PT's HD 7.1cs9
