Soundtrack Pro, iTunes, iTunes U, and Metadata

Question

I'm part of a team that creates and uploads content to our college's iTunes U site. When we create content we like to include metadata that will be presented when users see the various podcasts and vodcasts we offer on the site.
The metadata that we really like to present include Name, Artist, and Album. When I'm creating MP3 files to upload using Soundtrack Pro, I've figured out how to include metadata in the program. What I notice though is that there is NOT a category titled ALBUM as part of the metadata entries.
Now I can use the free sound editing application of Audacity to add the Album metadata information, but I really would like to use Soundtrack to create my MP3 files. But because it doesn't have the Album metadata category, I might have to start using the free application. Especially since I can't modify the Album category in iTunes.
Anyway suggestions from anyone?
Thanks,
Robert

Answer 1

Here's the appropriate language relating to this
d) Soundtrack Pro. You may use the Apple and third party audio file content (including, but not limited to, the built-in sound files, samples and impulse responses) (collectively the “Audio Content”), contained in or otherwise included with the Apple Software, on a royalty-free basis, to create your own original soundtracks for your film, video and audio projects. You may broadcast and/or distribute your own soundtracks that were created using the Audio Content, however, individual audio files may not be commercially or otherwise distributed on a standalone basis, nor may they be repackaged in whole or in part as audio samples, sound files or music beds.
It mentions that you can distribute your audio projects, so that might seem to indicate that the answer is yes. The language is clearer in regard to synchronized music to picture, or audio for broadcast or other distribution.
+Personally I see a gray (grey) area here . . . what about if I took a piece of stock music from the audio content and wrote lyrics to it and called it a song. Can I claim sole authorship of that . . . the agreement seems to indicate yes, but that doesn't scan to me.+
Anyway, i think if you're talking about writing a song using loop content, I'm pretty sure the answer is yes you can sell the resulting creation. _But I'm no lawyer_. It's probably open to debate.
