Harry,

If everybody had the time to wait for a huge WAV file to be downloaded to their 
favorite podcatcher, and unlimited storage room to save all those big WAV files 
then your idea might actually work.  But, it doesn't work that way in the real 
world where WAV files are many times larger than MP3 files, and would take an 
enormous amount of time to upload and download.

Hi Neal,
I hear ya, on that thought.
It's too bad, that so many people, record files in the mp3 format, and not wav 
format.
If these people that do podcasts would record them in .wav format, then, 
there's no problem, and you could just launch studio recorder, and then, you 
could click on the file and edit it and save it, because it would be in .wav.
So many podcasts are .mp3 files, and they all should be .wav files, then, there 
wouldn't be a problem.

Harry, One reason I'm guessing this is not done is that editing an MP3 file or 
any other compressed file is not that accurate.  It's one thing to edit a WAV 
file, but when you have compressed a file in any number of compression ratios, 
try taking out exactly one second or doing other precise editing of that file 
and you will likely discover it cannot be done.  Some kind of decompression has 
to happen to make precise editing possible.  This is why SR and all other major 
recording packages like Sound Forge, Sonar, Etc. make you edit the WAV file.

Hi Mary,
That's the problem, studio recorder has to convert a file, before editing it.
This is time wasting, really.
A user should be able to launch studio recorder, then, hit control o for open, 
then, find an mp3 file and hit enter, and edit it, because you can do that with 
wav files.
It's just rediculous.
Gold Wave has the same problem with files as well. I thought I'd try it, the 
other night, but that thing had to decode a file.
Folks, if someone had a job, and they had to use studio recorder, their job 
wouldn't get done very fast.
I'm just saying, any studio recorder user, should be able to click on an mp3 
file, and edit it, just like they can a wav file.
This is something that needs to be done.
Oh well, maybe the bookport desktop will do this, because it lets you record in 
wav, wma, or mp3, so, if it will let the user record in those file types, we 
should be able to edit those kind of files.
I think I'll just wait for the bookport desktop to come out.

Harry,

You're confusing us; it's hard to figure out whether you're in studio
recorder when you find the .wav file, or if you're in studio recorder
and you find an MP3 file. Or are you looking at a file in a file list,
outside studio recorder, and want to convert it? if you're in Studio
Recorder and want to save a .wav file as an MP3 file, you can export it
as MP3; the word is export, not save. To get to the export dialog, press
alt, arrow down to export as mp3, and press enter.

If you have an mP3 file and want to convert it to .wav, there is
third-party software, such as switch, that can convert file formats. Or,
if you're in studio recorder and want to bring in an mp3 file to edit,
use import, or control-i. It will take a while because studio recorder
has to convert the mp3 file to .wav before it can work with it.

Mary
