When you copy part of an MP3 file to the clipboard, the entire file must be decoded. This may explain the perceived lockup. The status line should indicate "Copying...", and if you wait long enough, you will be back in control. This is probably what you were experiencing. There really isn't anything we can do about two different MP3 files with different wave formats. Rob Meredith >>> snapp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 06/27/05 10:09PM >>> Hello Rob. Well, I've figured out the problem. And, I'll suspect you guys can fix it. I had several MP3 files created in the Kurzweil 1000 and had converted them to wav files in Studio Recorder. I was attempting to mingle them with files downloaded from NeoSpeech as wav files. All I can figure is that the MP3 conversion to WAV was not similar enough for compatibility. When I used Gold Wave version 5.9 to merge the files together, then I could use Studio Recorder to manipulate them any way I wanted. I could even save them as separate WAV files in Gold Wave and copy and paste to my heart's content in Studio Recorder. Since I had done this in Gold Wave a time or two in the past, it never dawned on me that there would be a problem in Studio Recorder. I just never gave that part of the process any thought. So, it is not so much a problem as a knot? Thanks for a wonderful product.

We haven't seen this. I also don't understand why you can't paste to a new window twice. Rob Meredith
