When I try to import mp4 music into the collections of WMM. It doesnt
give me a pop up message it just has a circle with a line through the
middle which means it won't go onto there and it doesn't show up as
something i can import when looking for it.
===================================
You have a compatibility issue...the files need
to be converted to a different format.
Have a look at the following article:
Movie Maker 2 - Importing Audio
http://www.papajohn.org/MM2-Importing-Audio.html
(look at the right column under PapaJohn Comments)
Might be worth a try to convert the files to
..wma with Windows Media Encoder:
Windows Media Encoder

How to convert .mp4 to .wma
using Windows Media Encoder
Open Windows Media Encoder
Left click...Convert a file / OK
Open the Files of type drop window and
choose...All Files...
On the File Selection screen...browse to the
..mp4 'Source File' you wish to convert
Also browse to and select a save folder and
enter a name for your converted 'Output File' /
Next
On the Content Distribution screen I usually
choose 'File Archive' / Next / Finish.
When you see the 'Encoding Results' screen
the task is complete.
Another option:
To convert .mp4 audio to .wma...try the
following free online converter.
Media-Convert
http://media-convert.com/
1) In the "File" field...click the "Browse"
button and navigate to the .mp4 audio file
you wish to convert. When you select the
file...the path will appear in the 'File' field.
2) In the "Input format" field open the drop
window and choose...Sound /
'MPEG advanced audio coding (.mp4)'
3) In the "Output format" field open the drop
window and choose...'ASF Audio (.wma)'
4) Left click the blue *OK* button.
Now...wait for the file to be converted.
(be patient)
When the conversion is complete you will see:
File successfull converted !
Double left click the converted .wma file and
the 'File' Download window ahould appear.
Click...Save...and the 'Save As' screen will
appear...left click the Save button / Choose a
folder to save in...left click the Save button.
When the file is downloaded you should be
able to play it with Windows Media Player
and it should be compatible with Movie maker.
That's it! Good luck.
