I wouldn't say burning a CD is close to the top of the list.

Well, I have been doing it the way you are talking about, but when
you have 4 or 5 files you are working with to to create a 1 hour
radio program sometimes us old people have to think awfully hard to
remember which one of those document files is the next one I want to
put into the mix.
Oh, and I know you will probably groan at this one. Is there a
chance of adding the ability to burn a cd directly from within SR.
It would be really nice to have the entire project completed, saved,
and now in the same software to be able to go ahead and burn the cd
directly from the same software without having to run another
software just to burn the cd.
In my instance I have one 58 minute file with the entire program in
the one file, but that is probably not what most people would be
looking at. Probably most applications would have several files all
of which they want to burn into a cd. So, if that option were added
it would need the ability to choose whether the burn ended by
closing the disk or not.

Neal:
In short, if you open an MP3 file, it is expected that you are,
infact,
working with an MP3 file, and MP3 files cannot be edited. So, even
though it is decoded, and the data could be edited, if you saved,
you
would either have to reencode, or save the wave data as an MP3
file;
neither is a good option. So, we just can't let you do that. It
would be
kind of like opening a Word file but word always saving it as .rtf
or
something like that, not good!
It appears that my pitch of "Just use Save As" is not much liked.
That
really is the best way at the moment. If you insist, you could
choose to
create a new document and just insert the MP3 file. As long as the
sample rates match, this will work, and you can begin editing
immediately after decoding.
We are considering adding an open as .wav file option. I don't
personally like it much; there are issues. But, since people on
this
list seem to want this option, we should probably give it a look.

Oh dear, he's back again. Well, I do have one question.
Rob, if I open an MP3 file in Wave View, it says it is decoding
the
file. Why then, is this still a read only file. What more would
have
to be done to make such a file able to be edited rather than
getting
the
message that this is a read only file? OK, that's all for today.
Well,
perhaps I will think of something later.
