I have found that occasionally that if you are doing a rather large MP3 file and you do it that way some of your commands may not take effect. That is why it is better to decode first.

So, there isn't really even a need to decode first. Open the mp3 file, start your editing, let it decode, finish your editing, and then export as mp3 in the file menu.

However, these comments are gonna be to the folks at APH who made this software. All I can say is, Studio Recorder must be changed, to allow someone to edit mp3 files. A user should not have to do 4 steps: 1. After launching studio recorder, find the mp3 file you want to edit. 2. Then, do a save as, and save the unedited file as a wav file. 3. Then, launch studio recorder again, and now, go to where the saved wav file is, and do your editing. 4. Then, find the edited wav file, and convert it back to mp3. So, let's get this done, and in the next version of Studio Recorder, let's allow the user to edit an existing mp3 file. Harry
