I'm new to MovieMaker and am having problems importing music/audio...I've
read through some older posts to try and understand but I'm still a little
unsure...is there a way you can use music that you've bought through iTunes,
MusicMatch Jukebox, etc, or not? It looked like some tips were to rip them
and turn off some kind of protection, but I'm still confused. If you can't
use any of the songs you paid to download, what can you use? Just your own
CDs? This has been very frustrating to me...Thanks for any help/advice --

There's some info at PapaJohn's site
about iTunes...

Movie Maker 2 and Photo Story 3 website -
http://www.papajohn.org
(go to...Import Movie source Files / Music
and Audio)


More info .....

I copied the following info from a previous
message and have no idea if it will work
for you but it may be worth a look:

Question:
I have downloaded music from iTunes
(comes in .m4p format) that cannot be
opened by Windows Media Player, and
therefore cannot be imported into WMM.
Is there a way to convert so the music
can be added to a movie being formed
in ?WMM?

Answer:

Here's what I learned today from a geek
at Compusa and it worked splendidly
for me:

1) In I-Tunes, go to "Edit", then "Preferences"
2) Select "Advanced"
3) Select "Importing"
4) From "Import Using", scroll to MP3
Encoder and select that.

Now, find the song you want to take from
"4" to "3" and RIGHT Click. You should
have the option to change to MP3 right
there. I had copied my I-Tune file to a CD
before I did this, so I'd have an unchanged
original in case this didn't work.

Hope this helps,

Good luck...
