adding music

I'm kind of clueless about adding music. How and where do I get music that
is in the acceptable format? I tried downloading music from a couple of
sources but it wasn't the right format.

=========================================
What is the format of your downloaded files?
You probably need to convert the files to .wma
or .wav.

If your source files are still images...you might
like PhotoStory 3...it can create it's own music.

==============================
One really simple way to convert the files
would be to use the .mp3 files to burn a
Music CD and then RIP the CD with .wma
as the target format.

Please help me as I am trying to finish a DVD for my mother's 80th birthday.
Thought I was almost done but I cannot get some of the songs on my storyboard
to transition into one another. Others transition fine. All were downloaded
the same way MP3. If I click on the storyboard the song will play but not
automatically.

========================================
Have you tried saving the project as a movie?
Anyway...MP3 files can cause issues:

Which file type should I use in Movie Maker?
