Re: conundrum with adding audio clips over background music

I am making a video in MSWMM with still photos that has a continuous
music CD playing in the background (on the audio/music track).
That's done and I now want to add a series of audio narration clips
(.wav files) to the timeline but when I try to insert, they jump down
to the audio/music track which is where the background music CD is
laid down which advances the music out of sync. I cannot get it to
go on the other audio track just below the transitions timeline.
Maybe that audio track is solely for the audio portion of videos but
is there a way to override that so I can use that track for narration
clips instead so my background music is not affected?
=========================================
If you save the project in a movie format (.avi or .wmv)
you can reimport the finished video and the sound
will be on the Audio track. Now you can add additional
audio on the Audio / Music track.

To save as an .avi movie file...
(and several other options)
Type...Ctrl+P to open the Save Movie Wizard /
Choose...My Computer /
Next /
Enter a Name and a Save Location /
Next /
Show More Choices /
Other Settings /
Open the drop window and choose...DV-AVI /
Next /
Wait while the movie is saved /
Finish...

To save as a .wmv movie file...
Type...Ctrl+P to open the Save Movie Wizard /
Choose...My Computer /
Next /
Enter a Name and a Save Location /
Next /
Tick...'Best Quality For My Computer'
Next/
Wait while the movie is saved /
Finish...
