How do you put music iTunes in windows movie maker?

Answer 1

By default, iTunes rips CDs to the AAC format, which is a great format for storing music, but is also incompatible with Windows Movie Maker. There are two ways to solve your problem:

(1) Convert the AAC file to MP3 with iTunes

By default, iTunes rips all CDs to AAC format. You can use iTunes to convert AAC files to MP# , but you need to make a few changes in iTunes first. To convert an AAC file to MP3 with iTunes follow these steps:

Open iTunes Preferences (Edit > Preferences). Click the Advanced tab and choose the Importing sub-tab. On the Import Using drop-down list, choose MP3 Encoder and click OK.

(2) Re-rip the CD as MP3 files

Your other option is to re-rip the entire CD as MP3 files instead of AAC files. Just like the other option above you must first configure iTunes to convert CDs to MP3.

Open iTunes Preferences (Edit > Preferences). Click the Advanced tab and choose the Importing sub-tab. On the Import Using dropdown list, choose MP3 Encoder and click OK.

Now import the CD into iTunes as MP3 files. Right-click the MP3 file you want to use in your movie and choose Show in Windows Explorer. Drag and drop the MP3 file into Windows Movie Maker to use in your video project.

NOTE:

If your file was purchased from iTunes Music Store, you might need something like SoundTaxi to convert the song to an MP3. SoundTaxi isn't free but it will get you a file that works with Windows Movie Maker.
