Can't import an MP3 into iMovie

I am creating home movies and am putting music to them. I have 1800 mp3's or so of which the majority are 'active' for import in the dialog box when open. I have several that are NOT highlighted when I go to import. They seem to be more recent downloads. Does anyone know how I can get these paticular mp3 files into my iMovie production. Thanks! <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

    it works here...

    ?do the mp3's have their suffix (.mp3) ?

    ?trash the preferences of iMovie

    MOST of my MP3's can be imported without a problem and I have done it as well. There are only a select few which are unavailable for import so I thought it was possibly those individual files.

    several points....yes they have the extension MP3 on the end but I have imported multiple ones that dont and it still worked. Also, I cant even find the iMovie preferences.......where are they? Doesnt make sense though that this would work since the vast majority of the MP3's I have will import. I also checked settings.....nothign there to alter. Finally....I tried updating the ID3 tags too through iTunes....still no luck. I am very baffled. Any good sites for downloading MP3 that you or anyone can recommend? Thanks!
