I have solved a few of the errors on my own but can't figure out how to do the two that I am pasting below.
I am also providing a copy of the exported contents.opf, nav.xhtml, and the first page p001.html of the document in a zip file attached to this post.
First error is:
ERROR ITMS-9000: "ChristmasCarolsAltoSaxIBookv3.epub: OEBPS/content.opf(24): assertion failed:
media overlay items must be of the 'application/smil+xml' type (given type was ''). This error occurs 39 times." at Book (MZItmspBookPackage)
Second error is:
ERROR ITMS-9000: "ChristmasCarolsAltoSaxIBookv3.epub: OEBPS/content.opf(21): assertion failed:
global media:duration meta element not set" at Book (MZItmspBookPackage)
There are actually a couple more errors as well but I didn't want to burden anyone with a really long post. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

My one question would be, you did create the SMIL files, is that right? And embedded them for each piece of music (I assume that you're highlighting, what, musical notes? Is that right?)?
The second error is about setting the time (duration) for that particular piece of embedded audio, as far as I can tell, without pulling your whole book apart.
Does any of that help?
