| How come I can't load MP3 files into Har-Bal? |

At present there is no support for MP3 files. It is unlikely that support for MP3 will be introduced in the near future for a number of reasons. It is a proprietary format that requires payment of royalties should an MP3 encoder be required; it is already catered for through third party tools and CODECS; and it is a lossy format that is best avoided for a source file format prior to harmonic balancing. An integrated MP3 support will be provided through the Windows Compression Manager and third party CODECS. |
