Hi Mark,

Here's a link to a PG Music FAQ on rendering that might help.

http://www.pgmusic.com/tutorial_bbwrender.htm

From memory, it's necessary to have a suitable driver in the \bb directory. The freeware LAME MP3 ENCODER will do the job very well.

Personally, I prefer to render songs as a WAV because a WAV file gives me the best possible quality. I then use the freeware program "Free Audio Convertor" to compress the WAV. I usually experiment with different compressions and try to get the best compromise between reduced file size and quality (i.e. what the WAV file sounds like and what the compressed mp3 sounds like).

Below are the "Free Audio Convertor" settings that I usually use.







I also set the "General Settings" so that they will render the mp3 in the same directory as the WAV file.



Hope this helps.

Regards,
Noel
