How can I insert an mp3 music file in Windows Movie Maker?

How can I insert an MP3 of the music on Windows movie maker film?  I downloaded this song three times from Amazon.com... the file is fine.  Yet, when I'm in Windows Movie make and attempt to insert of the song, I get a message saying that the file is invalid or damaged.  The file is fine.  I'm able to import OTHER songs without problem to my film.  BUT I want this song in particular one and can't make it work.

Convert MP3 to WMA format before importing
in Movie Maker and you should have a better result.

There are many freeware converters available on
the net... the following examples may be worth a try:

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

* Proceed at your own risk *.

(1) format Factory
http://www.pcfreetime.com/
(the file you want to download is: > FFSetup270.zip
(FWIW... installation..., you might want to
Uncheck all of the boxes on the last screen)

First... after the download and installation of Format
Factory... you can open the program and
left click on the toolbar, the "Option" button and
"Select an output folder to" / apply / OK.
(this is where you find your files after they)
are converted)

Drag and drop your MP3 files on the main screen...

Select "while"WMA"/ OK...

Click on... Beginning... in the toolbar...

That should do it...

Here's another free download:

Restore point before installing software or updates)

(2) Koyotesoft "Free MP3 WMA Converter".
http://www.koyotesoft.com/indexEn.html
(FWIW if you install the converter, you can
Uncheck offerings from Yahoo and Dealio) (also... you
may want to uncheck the CD Ripper and the Easy
MP3 Cutter)

After installing the program... open and drag and drop
your audio files on the main screen...

Choose a backup folder (path of output). Or just leave...
"Save to the directory the file" checked and the new
files will be saved in the folder with the current files.

Choose a format... WMA.

Left, click Convert.

    How can I find this codec and install it?

    Blond highlights Hello,

    Thanks for posting in the Microsoft answers Forum.  Usually, when you try to play a video in Media Player if you do not have the right codec Media Player will automatically download and install the correct codec if it is available.  Since this is a Power Point presentation has video embedded in it?  If so, try to play the video file outside the Power Point presentation and Media Player will go out and get the correct codec if you are connected to the internet.  Here is an article from the Microsoft Knowledge base that explains Media player codecs and configuration to automatically download:

  • Download iTunes files in Windows Movie Maker on a downloaded CD?

    Hey,.

    I'm doing a movie in WMM, and I tried to go into iTunes and import the music on a CD that I had already imported into iTunes. He gave me something the codec is not installed.

    For the record: I have already read the answer of Yes, and it does not help me because it was things I had not bought and downloaded from iTunes. These songs, I am trying to import came from a CD, I bought in a store and jumped in my computer. Any help? I'm relatively stupid when it comes to such things, so it would be easy, plain-English-non-tech-chamois terms useful.* *.

    Thanks in advance! (:

    Hi, pepper,
     
    1. you try to import the music from iTunes to WMM (Windows Movie Maker)?
     
    The files you want to import into WMM should be supported by WMM else, you will get this error message.

    When you try to import a .mp4 file in windows movie maker, the program does not list the file when I search for it in his file.  Help, please.

    As I suggested previously, conversion to a format like

    Watch the video file. The last 3 letters represent the file format.

    Windows Movie maker only supports the following video file formats:

    Video files: .asf, .avi, .dvr-ms, .m1v, .mp2, .mp2v, .mpe, .mpeg, .mpg, .mpv2, .wm, and .wmv

    If yours is not on the above list, Movie Maker will have probel play.

    In this case, you will have to google for a free video converter and change the format of your video file to WMV. WMV format is the most reliable format for Windows. For the benefits of others looking for answers, please mark as answer suggestion if it solves your problem.

    The song with that I have a problem is "I'm in love (with a killer)" by Jeffree Star &, as with all my other audio files that I did NOT have this problem with, is mp3 format. I have a video in mind with this song & pictures I saved star but Windows Movie Maker cannot import it.

    If there is anything you could do, advice you could give, I would really appreciate it. This is my favorite song by Jeffree Star & it drives me crazy not being able to import it into Movie Maker. :-/
