The yelling is not necessary.

Have a look at the following articles:

(look at the right column under PapaJohn Comments)

FWIW...if your RIP your CD with .wmv as
the target format you should be able to
import the .wmv files into Movie Maker.

Sorry...the target format when ripping your
CD should be .wma...instead of .wmv which
is a video format.

Although you can get wmv audio, but it's rare. Aim for wma or wav.

Are these files in the .wma format?

BTW...PhotoStotry 3 may be a better choice
of software for working with still pictures:

OK, I am trying to import three songs from Itunes (that I purchased from the
Itunes store) to a movie I am making in Movie Maker. I have been trying the
solutions listed here and just am not getting it. My three songs are in mp4
format which I know is the problem. I backed them up to a disc from Itunes
and attempted to rip them back to my computer but Windows Media Player cannot
play the CD because it does not support mp4. I am stuck. Help!

Thanks!
