Music/audio files must be in one of the following file formats to be imported into Windows Movie Maker:

.aif, .aifc, .aiff, .asf, .au, .mp2, .mp3, .mpa, .snd, .wav, .wma

Audio files protected by DRM (Digital Rights Management) can't be imported into the program without first obtaining DRM permission, or removing the DMR all together.
