Problem with importing a song.

[Guest]

Okay, I'm trying to make a video, with background music. The song is 2:52
long when I check it in Media Player, Windows Explorer, and even the Import
window in Movie Maker. But when I import it the song ends up being about 5:26
long.

When i put it in the Timeline, the whole audio bar is filled up with music
up to the 2:52 point, at which the bars that indicate sound level become
nothing. BUT when i preview it from a point in that "nothing" the song plays
normally. And when i play it in the preview window it plays up to the 2:52
point, the music ends, and it jumps to the 5:26 point. It seems that when I
play it from anywhere but the beginning it messes up the time. I haven't had
this problem before with any other songs, so I guess something is wrong with
the file. Could someone tell me what's wrong and what should i do?

By the way, the song is "Don't You Know Who I Think I Am" by Fall Out Boy.

If the problem is something within the song's file structure you can
probably fix it by opening the song in a sound editor and re-saving it with
standard parameters, either as WMA, MP3 or WAV. I've had the odd Mp3
particularly that had incorrect metadata information yet they still played.
Resaving corrected the errors.
