Hi,

You will note the notification at the bottom of the audio pane that "___ files are unplayable and unavailable". This is because the songs are DRM (Digital Rights Management) protected and cannot be used in iMovie. Music from Apple Music is DRM protected and cannot be used in iMovie. Likewise, any DRM protected song in iTunes (those purchased before year 2009) cannot be played in iMovie. Generally, iTunes songs purchased after Year 2009 are DRM free and can be used. However, Apple Music retains its DRM protection event if downloaded to iTunes -- thus cannot be used.
