Subject:MP3's No Longer Drop on Acid Posted by: davecas Date:6/3/2006 9:32:22 AM Hi, I just started experiencing a weird problem. I have Acid Pro 4.0. Today I was working on a project and suddenly got this pop up when trying to drop an MP3 on one of my projects: "The file cannot be opend until its plug-in has been registered. You can click the Register button to register the plug-in and continnue using the file in ACID." I've tried to register and that doesn't work. Bigger question, tho, is why now? What caused this. I've been using Acid for 4 years and NEVER had this pop up. Did some setting get changed by mistake? Any help would be great. Thanks. Dave

Go to your program folders, open the Sonic Foundry (Acid 4 was before Sony) folder, then open the shared plugins folder, then open the file formats folder, then open the MP3 folder. Don't lose your place, now start up your Acid 4 program. Drag the mp3plug.dll & any other related .dll files directly onto the work space of the Acid 4.

After doing what you said, here's the pop up I got: "The DirectX Plug-In C:\Program Files\Sonic Foundry\Shared Plug-Ins\File Formats\MP3\mp3rw.dll failed to register properly. (80004001h)" Guess I'm stuck having to call support unless anyone has another idea about how to fix this! Thanks for the ideas and thoughts. Strange that just one day, it would suddenly not let me drop MP3....Sigh... Dave
Subject:RE: MP3's No Longer Drop on Acid Reply by: Chienworks Date:6/4/2006 11:12:15 AM Seems a little odd that "Sonic Foundry" should show up there. You must have had older versions that predate SONY's involvement installed. Did you run the migration utitlities that have shipped with the newer SONY versions? If you haven't you should. If that doesn't help then you may want to consider uninstalling all versions of SONY/Sonic Foundry software and then installing only the newer SONY versions.
Subject:RE: MP3's No Longer Drop on Acid Reply by: davecas Date:6/4/2006 5:06:46 PM Ah....maybe that's it. Indeed, all of my versions pre-date Sony's involvement. I wasn't aware there was a patch but I'll see if I can sort it out. Thanks for the tip. Dave

Hi,

I've tried to register and that doesn't work.

Bigger question, tho, is why now? What caused this. I've been using Acid for 4 years and NEVER had this pop up. Did some setting get changed by mistake?

Any help would be great.
Thanks.
