sountrack music

[Smitty]

I've used MM for a few years but never experienced this problem before. I am
adding several MP3 sound tracks over the exisiting audio (thirds line in the
Timeline). Some of the songs play and others won't play until I click on them
and reverse them a bit then they play fine! EXCEPT when I play the timeline
again when it gets to that section the song won't play. Also, when saved as a
movie, those same songs don't play. Other soundtracks I have added to this
movie (also MP3) play fine in the same Timeline. I tried deleting,
re-importing, moving the songs around in the Timeline but with the same
results.
Would converting them from MP3 to something else be advisable?
Thanks for any suggestions as this is a video of a friends garden railroad!

========================================
Movie Maker is not fully compatible with
..mp3 files.

..wma or .wav would be a better choice.

Have a look at the following articles
