off the internet...i've alot of songs that i've bought and downloaded, but i
can't seem to get them to work with my video. any help would be appreciated!

I have had the same problem. I downloaded three songs to import into Movie
Maker to use as background music for a home video. I get an error message
when I try to import the three new songs. Maybe you are receiving the same
error messages.

The message is as follows: "The file song name.wma is protected using
digital rights management and cannot be imported.

In other words, WMM will not import because of the file type. I want to
know whether there is any way to import these songs without having to convert
them to MP3s.

If you are having the same problems as I am having, there are a few threads
that can directly assist you. Just put the following search terms into the
"Search For" box: wma digital rights management import.

Your problem may be addressed in one or more of these threads.

You should not be breaking any laws by using music and/or video, even if
right protected, for home, personal, private, and non-commercial use.

Sounds like your songs are 'rights' protected. A couple of things you
might try....if you burn your song to a cd, and then re-rip it back to your
computer, you should be able to import it into Movie Maker. Another thing
you can try is to convert the song (likely in mp3 format now) into WAV
format. There are various software programs to do that....I use MP3 WAV
EDITOR.....but do a search in www.download.com and you'll find a lot of
programs....maybe even a free one; I don't know. But the one I use does a
good job. But, first try the burning/ripping thing, which should work.

I know it's a pain, but the easiest workaround for me has been, after buying
music online, I always burn it to an audio CD (not a bad idea anyway -
backup, play in the car, etc...) and then I re-import the music from my
newly created CD using my favorite audio program, (Windows Media Payer,
Itunes, etc...) just make sure you have all the digital rights options set
to OFF. your newly imported mp3 (or wma) will now be free of digital
restrictions and you can use it as you wish.
