I am running SF4.5, when I try to save a file as MP3
format, I get to the Save As screen and there is no MP3
options , but when I hit OK to save/convert any MP3 file, I
get the following error:

"An error occured saving the file. Make sure there is
enough room on the destination disk to save this file."

Why the heck can't SF (or ACid for that matter) utilize my
Windows internal MP3 codec...as it is available in my
multimedia control panel under Frauhoffer MP3 codec
(installed by radium)...what gives...is Sonic being cheap
and gouging as to being only able to use their propietary
mp3 plug in codecs? I have uninstalled and reinstalled
several times...and my other audio progs can utilize my
internal MP3 codec...even if I copy the .acm to the SF
folder...I get no option for MP3 in my save as
screen....aargh...:(

help please

Hello,

As long as you have the latest version of Sound Forge,
which is version 4.5h, you will have mp3 capabilities. The
update is available on the downloads page of our website.
Acid cannot open mp3's, but it can save. Neither program
is going to recognize your hacked radium mp3 codec.

hahahah....what a bonehead, I guess he won't have MP3
ability then, because radium hasn't released a sound forge
4.5h version either....lol.
