when I add music to my timeline the player says that there is an error and must be shut down. What is the problem?

You're using MP3s yes?

Don't, That's your problem. For WMM I found you should use .wma files.

I'm not sure if .wav files would work, but given the simplicity of WMM i'm guessing they wouldn't.

Oh and don't tell me that you've used MP3s in the past and it's always been fine. I know it's like that. i used MP3s for a long ass time when I had WMM, then they just stopped working. So, yah

That doesn't make sense.

Well I was thinking, If It can't handle MP3s, Then it can't handle .wavS XD... Was my information misleading?

I'm not following the logic here. The vast majority of .WAVs are uncompressed, therefore easier to handle than MP3s for video editing apps.

.wma is a worse compression than .mp3 (quality-wise)

use .wav if you can

If your MP3 won't work, then just save that audio in WMM as "high quality audio" and you'll get a WMA just as good in quality in the MP3.

Trust me, I've done it...quite a bit. Audio always turns out good at the end.

Or, here's a better idea.

If your MP3 won't edit, do the WMA thing and edit with that. When you're done, delete the WMA and then reinsert the MP3, it should still match up perfectly, then save.
