========================================
Just wondering...what is the format of the music files?

And...are your 'clips' still shots or video?

and there mp3 format

====================================
Many formats are reportedly compatible with
Movie Maker but the most reliable choices are:

Photos - bmp
Video - wmv or dv-avi
Music - wma, wav, wmv

Might be worth a try to convert the MP3s
to the WMA format before importing.

The following freeware can do the conversion:

(FWIW...it's always a good idea to create a System
Restore point before installing software or updates)

Format Factory
http://www.pcfreetime.com/
(FWIW...when installing...you may want to uncheck
all the boxes on the final screen)

After downloading and installing Format Factory...
open the program and choose an Output Folder...
(this is where you will find your files after they are
converted)

Drag/drop your MP3 files onto the main screen...

Select 'All to WMA' / OK...

Click...Start...on the toolbar...

That should do it...
