importing music into PS 3

[Guest]

Hi
I am creating my first PS 3 project. The finished project will be a DVD
including approx 5 different songs and pics for my daughter for graduation.
2 years ago I did the same for my oldest. I located the music, the pics and
spent hours on the exact timing to words, using very specific personal songs.
I decided this year that I should be able to do this myself. I've edited my
pics and also moved them into photostory. Relatively simple until I tried to
put my first purchased song in. I have read every post I can find as well as
messages and tips from papajohn website and google groups. I purchased music
from msn music. I emailed it to myself, put it on a flash drive, burnt to a
cd, tried literally everything I saw on the suggestions. Each and everytime
it gave me an error message. I even downloaded it from MSN a second time. I
am so frustrated and do not know where to turn.

Go to this site and post your question in the Music group:

I really don't know the answer, I have a hunch that when you download from
MSN you can play the song on your computer, but it will not let you use it
for anything else. Did you check at MSN what you can do with this song file.
All kinds of rules, regulations, restrictions on how you can use the file,
depending from where you obtain it.

Believe it or not, most "legal" sources of music have copy-protected
it so that your use of it is severely restricted.

Try getting the music you want as .mp3 files, either by ripping them
yourself from a CD or by getting them some other way. ;-)
