Importing an .mp3

Wow this is probably the stupidest question that has ever been asked here. How do I import an .mp3 so I can use it on iMovie? I already edited my clips, now all I need to do is add the background music. I already tried dragging it where it says "drag media here" but nothing happens. Help would be appreciated.

have you tried file / import?

Yup. It only says "import from camera, import from movies, import from iMovie HD project" so basically the browser is for videos only. I couldn't click on the song when I found it.

I have iMovie 08 but in case you have a different version, I think they all have the same thing. In the lower right section of iMovie there is a music tab/button. You should be able to drag your song from in there.

I have 08 too. Ok so I clicked the little music note, which opened my itunes folder and all my songs. I select the song and I drag it, but nothing happens. I think that's what you mean right? It says the song is zero seconds long. By the way it doesn't work with ANY song.

It might be easier if you watch this little video clip than it would be for me to try and explain it. I've only played with iMovie 08 a little but it doesn't seem to be as intuitive as previous versions.

Thanks. I tried searching for answers by clicking "help" but I didn't know they had actual videos on their site. The problem was that the video wasn't on the top thing (I forgot what it's called *blush*).
