It has a plugin available that will do your .mp2 conversions for you (be sure to get that, too). Best... -Jon _________________

In CEP 1.2a I used the old beta coolmp32.exe plugin to decode MP2's into WAVs. You can still find it on the net if you look hard enough, but beware, it can be most unstable. I don't think any Syntrillium product can export to MP2 however. _________________ Craig Jackman Production Supervisor CHEZ/CKBY/CIOX/CJET/CIWW Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

Craig Jackman Location: Canada Posts: 909	Posted - Tue Mar 11, 2003 6:45 am  Yep ... "restart Cool Edit to continue working" coolmp32.exe was a funny thing. You could install it 20 times ... 10 times it would function perfectly forever and 10 times it would crash. I had it workd both ways, though generally the former. _________________ Craig Jackman Production Supervisor CHEZ/CKBY/CIOX/CJET/CIWW Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
2Bdecided Posts: 340	Posted - Tue Mar 11, 2003 7:01 am  The version which included mp3 decoding had a number of faults in the mp3 decoding engine... http://mp3decoders.mp3-tech.org/decoders_cepgnu.html I don't know if these have any relevance to mp2 - it certainly doesn't inspire confidence! Cheers, David.
2Bdecided Posts: 340	Posted - Tue Mar 11, 2003 7:05 am  DOH! In my first replay, I was thinking "encode mp2" instead of "decode mp2". Decode mp2 - Easy!!! Just use Winamp. go to Options>Preferences>Plug-ins>Output>NullSoft Disk Writer plug-in>Configure to set where to store the .wavs on your hard disk. Then just "play" the mp2s, and reset the Output device to waveOut afterwards. Alternatively, use MAD - the MPEG Audio Decoder. http://www.underbit.com/products/mad/ Cheers, David.
