No you just have to know where the music is stored on your hard drive.
Most likely you'll find it down the tree of My Documents\My Music\iTunes....\
If not, you'll have to right click on whatever song you want to use in iTunes and you will be able to find where the song is on your drive and import it into Movie Maker that way

I did it with Nero (a moviemakerslideshow program). I burnt the itunes to a cd then rippedit back to my hardrive and saved in the correct format. I will see if I can remember the process and get back to you. I think you might need nereo. link for Nero solution Create Audio CD's from iTunes-Store Files - mrchuck999 - My Nero
next idea---
Method 1: Burn the track(s) to a CD, then you can open the CD in iTunes and the Convert Selection to MP3 will do exactly what you want. Just be aware that you'll have TWO copies of that song in iTunes -- one in the original AAC format and one in MP3 format. You can delete the AAC version if you like. (Note that you must burn an audio CD, not a data CD. Check the setting in Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Burning if you have a problem importing tracks from the CD.)
Method 2: If you have lots of music, you might need a big pile of CDs to convert everything with the "burn and rip" method above. That's where software can help. A "virtual CD drive" such as NoteBurner or CD Emulator can simulate a real CD burner, eliminating the need for real CD-R discs. The Windows operating system will treat the virtual drive just like a real one, so you can tell your CD burning software to access the virtual drive by it's own drive letter.:wink:
