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

  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
