Adding soundtracks to digital videos

[CASTnBLAST]

I've been messing around with editing video of my two boys dirtbike adventures and wanted to add music in the background.I haven't had any luck using tracks I've downloaded from Napster.Any know how to do this???

Just use Windows Movie Maker already included with Windows XP.

When in timeline mode you can mix music into your videos, add transitional effects. Its pretty cool for basic vidio editing. Not to mention the price is right if you already have XP.

Or if you have a Mac, you use iMovie.

I've got XP and have figured out the editing and adding caption part but the music that comes with XP is nothing short of lame.I'm thinking it may be something with the Napster files preventing me from transfering them to movie maker??? Do you have to have a actual cd and somehow download it your hardrive then transfer it to movie maker? Thanks!
