Jean,

Few suggestions:

  • When you took the music from iTunes to the music folder, did you get the "original," not the alias
  • Make sure you find the original in iTunes library
  • when you have iTunes open, right click on a music title and look for "show in finder"
  • get that copy of the music
  • also, be sure you've converted to an mp3
  • I believe the music might be in a different file format (Mac format m4a); that may be why you are having difficulty once you get it into 
  • If you are taking it into Windows Movie Maker, using Mac format, Windows won't convert
  • Also don't do any drag and drop; use the import commands to bring it in properly
I haven't used Windows Movie Maker in about 4 years, but I don't believe it can read m4a, unless Microsoft has made some updates

I made a short movie in movie maker and found some music from creative commons I wanted to use with it.  I downloaded the music to itunes and then moved it into a shared music folder on my computer.  I inserted it into the windows movie maker slideshow and BAM the slideshow would no longer play.  Anyone know what I am doing wrong or what I should be doing differently?  Thanks - Jean
