• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

Sometimes I just feel stupid. I am running iMovie11 on an iMac with 10.6.something, the latest anyway.

I haven't used iMovie much, but only today found out that you can drag and drop an mp3 file into a Project's timeline. Is it my imagination or does it never say that anywhere in the online manual?

Also, if you can drag and drop an mp3, shouldn't there be a way to do the same from one of the menus, because I don't see that option anywhere. That can't be right, what obvious thing am I missing?

Using the "Music" button(in amongst the Titles/Background etc buttons on the central divider)? Not sure if you can navigate to a Finder folder to find an mp3 file, but you ncan certainly drag in tracks from iTunes and Garageband.
