[DM-MUG] iTunes 9 iMix "Issue"

[mauri booton]

I create iMixes using iTunes. In versions prior to 9 if a song I  
submitted for my iMix didn't match up exactly with the song/artist/ 
album in the iTunes library, it initially rejected it for the iMix.  
The workaround was to go to iTunes Store and find the preview of the  
song (probably on a different album) and then just drag that preview  
file into your iMix playlist file after deleting your version of the  
song/file. A little bit cumbersome, but doable.

As I just submitted my first iMix playlist using iTunes 9, it  
"rejected" 58 of 100 songs from my iMix leaving me with a 42 song  
iMix. When I went to "replace" those 58 songs using the iTunes Store  
"preview" songs file it wouldn't allow me to drag the preview file  
into my iMix playlist. I checked online and saw that others were  
having this problem too.

Does anyone know of a workaround for this issue? If there is no  
workaround, can I have TWO versions of iTunes on the same computer and  
not run into any issues?

Thanks!!

Example: I may have a song I ripped from a cd that was on the original  
album of the artist, but iTunes only carries the song on the Hits  
version of the album ~ so according to the iMix "logic" it's NOT a  
match and is excluded from the iMix.
