I am just trying ACID Music Studio 7 for the first time. I want to import mp3 files into a project, but the inbuilt explorer cannot see this type of file. I have tried changing the file type to look for from media to all, but it does not make any difference.

I am presuming the program should be able to bring in mp3 files?

Tks for your help.

Load anything you can onto the tlmeline and render to a new MP3 file. This may bring up a dialog box allowing you to register the MP3 plugin. After this you should be able to load MP3 files.

Hi - thanks for the tip - it was a partial success! I rendered a file to MP3 and can now see this file in the explorer window. I stll can't see other MP3 files though (which are definitely there, I can open them in media player for instance).

Any other suggestions?

Thanks

Do you have a tiny one you could upload somewhere or email to me? I'll see if it shows up here.

Aha - sorted! Seems I was lookining into the wrong directory, just realised that Windows 7 has the concept of libraries - the contents of the Document library not being quite the same as the contents in 'My Documents' - but close to confuse me!

many thanks for your help.

Congrats! Glad you figured it out.

Hmmmm. Is that another one of Windows 7's new "helpful" features that i'll have to shut off if i ever use it?
