While some versions of WMM don't like MP3 the problem is actually more likely due to whatever compression is on the audio- WMM doesn't compensate for bad audio.
Converting the audio to .wav will make it bigger, but might not help if you've got a bad source.
Also, if you're talking about playing it when the footage is on top of it, you've got a completely different problem- it's called lag and WMM is like that. to check if you're lagging, export your project, if the music is miraculously working again- you're audio's fine, its just the program lags.
