When you import an audio file, it’s converted to a 44.1kHz sample rate, 16-bit depth format if the original format is different. Imported audio files don’t follow tempo changes you make in GarageBand.

When you import a multitrack MIDI file, GarageBand creates a new Keyboard track for each track in the MIDI file. The total number of resulting tracks cannot exceed 32 tracks. You cannot add multitrack MIDI files to cells in Live Loops.

Though GarageBand 11 announced to import MP3 audio file, sometimes we still encounter difficulty in importing MP3 to GarageBand in various situation:

• Situation 1
  • When I tried to drag and drop my MP3 files to GarageBand, the window came up that said importing.. etc., but then the little box disappeared and nothing happened.
• Situation 2
  • I tried to import a MP3 into GarageBand, but GB hasn't recognized it. In My Songs menu, copy from iTunes says that there's no song available for the copy.
• Situation 3
  • When drag spoken word MP3 into the track or space of GarageBand, I see an 'importing' message for an instant, but nothing appears in the audio track and no new track is created.
• Situation 4
  • I can't drag MP3 audio files into GarageBand whatever from iTunes, from Finder, from the Desktop..
• Situation 5
  • I recorded a very small piece of sound in MP3 format and try to import it to GarageBand for editing. However, GarageBand refuse to add MP3 audio and says 'xxxx.mp3' could not be handled becauseGarageBand cannot open files in the 'MP3 audio' format.

GarageBand only imports MP3 files which have the extension in lower case: '.mp3'. If you try to import MP3 files (like MP3 recorded from the Olympus LS-10) with the extension in upper case:'.MP3', GarageBand will refuse to import those kinds of MP3 audio.
