Music problems.

[Guest]

Hi I'm new at this. I just recently started using Windows Movie Maker and
would like to put some music with my movie but all the music I try to use
won't work.
I've tried mids and ive tried music that I've gotten from CD. When I try
mids I get a message saying ( The file J:\My Mids\watermak.mid is not a
supported file type, and it cannot be imported into Windows Movie Maker.)
And when I use songs downloaded from CD I get this (The file C:\Documents
and Settings\Pat\My Documents\My Music\My Music\Only Time.wma is protected
using digital rights management and cannot be imported.)
Where can I get music that will work?

Try the following link for some info:

In the left pane...go to...
Importing Source Files / Digital Rights Management.


Midi files do not contain a sound font...they
only contain the musical notation. (That's why
the files are so small)

With some experimenting...the freebie at the
following link will enable you to combine your
midis with a sound font and covert the files to
..mp3s. Then you can use them in Movie Maker.

TiMidity CD Quality Midi Player/Converter

After the program unzips at C:\timidity......
open the folder and read the TimiditySetup.txt
file...it explains how to use the program.
timw32q.exe will launch the program.

If you point the program to a folder that
contains several .mid files...it will do a
batch conversion of all of them.

There are several thousand player piano
midi files that can be downloaded free
from the following site.

Sorry, I checked the Timidity link and
it's apparently no longer available.

There's some info on Midi at PapaJohn's
site at: Importing Source Files / Music
and Audio.

Hello Grumpy

My name is "Grumpy" also,

and there is another user called "grumpy"

also a "GrumpyGit88"

So much for MS Newsgroup software only allowing unique usernames.

ps: just type grumpy into the newsgroup search box and you will find all you
"Gumpy" cousins.

All the "Grumpy" users are on the Windows newsgroups, there are no "Grumpy"
users on the Linux or Apple newsgroups, I wonder why. LOL
