Adding Music to Movie Maker

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.video (More info?)

We have been trying to add music from Disney CD's we have purchased. All
attempts have been blocked by digital rights management notifications. On the
web site
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp [...] fault.mspx under
the heading "Adding music to your home movies with Windows Movie Maker 2" it
says "....Find out how to add that special Perry Como, Black Sabbath, or
Celine Dion tune to your movie". Nothing on that page (or anywhere else we
have looked including www.papajohn.org) have expained how to add music like
Celine Dion's that is Digital Right Management Protected. Can anyone help?

A worst case scenario would be to play the CD through your computer and
capture the sound via a program like Total Recorder.
