Brian, When I export a file I use the audio export from there you can choose the type of audio file you want to convert the file to including MP3's. Do the following: 1. Press alt+f 2. Press e, this will land you in the edit field. 3. Type in the file name where it says "file name". 4. shift-tab to the look-in box and select the folder you want to send the file to. 5. Tab until you see "file of type", hit an M and it will select MP3. 6. Press the space-bar on the export button. Here the MP3 encoder will allow you to make choices.

She's singing on top of a karioke track. What am I doing wrong? Can I not make a stero mp3 or what am I doing wrong? Thanks, Brian No virus found in this incoming message.
