How to Get Songs From iTunes Into Photostory
Microsoft Photo Story 3 has the ability to play music in the background while displaying a presentation. The audio file formats that Photo Story 3 supports are MP3, WAV and WMA. Because iTunes changes the names of files when organizing your library, you may find it difficult to use the file browser in Photo Story 3 to find the song that you want to use as the background music for a presentation. However, iTunes allows you to copy any song from your library to your desktop. Drag a song to the desktop to use it in a Photo Story presentation.

Tips & Warnings
ITunes has the ability to convert files to the MP3 and WAV formats. Click the "Edit" menu at the top of the iTunes window, and select "Preferences." Click the "General" tab at the top of the Preferences window, and then click the "Import Settings" button. Click the drop-down menu next to Import Using, and select "MP3 Encoder" or "WAV Encoder." Click "OK" twice, and then right-click the file that you want to convert. Select "Create MP3 Version" or "Create WAV Version." It may not be possible to convert a copy-protected file unless you have burned it to a CD and re-imported it to your iTunes library.
