Hi Tom,
I have not had a problem with mp3's and iTunes. As a matter of fact
all my music in iTunes is all MP3.
I have been doing something similar for about a year now.
I use the following CW MP3 collections and listen every night on my
iPhone when I go QRT.
N6TR's Sprint practice
http://www.kkn.net/~k5tr/audio/sprint_practice/
K5ZD off the air contest audio
http://www.k5zd.com/live/
G4ZFE /9M2/3W
http://www.g4zfe.com/3w2eraudio.html
Personally I find the real off the air recordings to be much more
effective then computer generated practice.
Training your brain with real life sounds (QRN, QSB, QRM and LIDS) I
have found my code speed to skyrocket.
I hope this helps, it sure has for me.

Off topic a bit but I think quite a few guys would like to improve
their code speed...
I read in the Hints es Kinks of QST Feb 08 a tip on using MP3 player
using downloaded mp files from W1AW...sounds good so far. I
downloaded the mp3 files from W1AW into iTunes library and did sync
with iPod Nano. Does not xfer....I can play the code practice direct
from iTunes but want the versatility of taking walks with cw
singing in my ears....I have moved the files into library files
where other music exists and delibrately wiped the Nano clean and
started over. Still no luck on downloading the cw files. The specs
for Nano say MP3 compatible with 320 to 32000hz...any body had any
luck with this setup?
BTW, nice of W1AW to provide mp3 and text to check later or as a
'sing along'...www.arrl.org/w1aw/morse.html

P.S. K3 in IARU...986 Qs as CW7T...many guys commented on audio...I
was using Logitech computer headset ($49) plugged into back and
vox...what a pleasure to use on cw and ssb!
