How come music keeps skipping on Windows Movie Maker?

Answer 1

You want to make sure the file is actually an mp3, because that format is compatible with Windows Movie Maker as well as:

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

Answer 2

The music you are trying to import into WMM (windows movie maker) is likely not in the correct format for the program. Audio must contain one of the file name extensions listed below:

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

Some music is protected by DRM (digital rights management) and can't be imported into the program either. Unless you are getting a Specific Error message (with details) it is more than likely the audio in not in the correct format for importation or is protected.

Answer 3

Because iTunes purchased music and video has DRM copyright protection, you have to remove the DRM at first, before you can convert/edit the audio or import it into Windows Movie Maker.

In order to play it on non-apple mp3/mp4 players, you need to remove the DRM and convert the protected music to other audio /video format. The easiest way is to burn an audio CD in iTunes and rip it back as .mp3 format.

Or you can get DRM Removal Software:

It's not only DRM remover, but also a media converter!

Other DRM Removal software programs can be downloaded from other sites on the internet. Simply Google: DRM removal downloads.

Answer 4

Something is wrong with the audio file most likely. Try importing and using another audio/music file to see if it skips.

Answer 5

You might be missing a codec on your computer. You might want to try VLC Media Player. That plays a lot of different video types.
