MP3/Window Movie Maker

[Star]

Hi kids,

I'm having trouble with 7 of the entries for A Song For Moopy. When I try to add them to WMM it says it cannot add the files because 'they are corrupt or invalid format'.
From what I see, they are the same format as the other 15 I have been able to upload!

I've tried getting the files resent to me, but that still doesn't work.

Any ideas?

Anyone? :o

i've had that problem! i think certain audio files have some sort of protection and just don't work on windows movie maker - god knows i've tried converting them, changing bitrates, renaming etc

sorry for the help, starina :(

Sorry star. I have no idea, and when I put some info into google to look it up, one of the first results was this thread :D

Do you have Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/) and a non-Vista Windows? If so you can play the song while recording it straight from your computer, and make a new mp3...

Ok, I've managed to sort of 6 of the 7 songs that needed doing. Now with the final one, when I play it on itunes/windows media player it's fine. BUT if I play it on audacity it comes out all distorted, and it's been stretched to 14 mins long from 3 mins.

Anyone know what I can do? Otherwise I'll have to leave this one entry out.
