sde,

You're not doing anything wrong. It sounds like your system doesn't have the drivers/codecs for converting audio to mp3 format.

Because these drivers are propriety software, PG Music cannot include them with the products they sell. PG Music programs will use them if they are already on your system.

The easiest way to put them on to your system is to download and install k-lite codecs. These are free. As with all freeware, though, be careful if you decide to install it. These days, unwanted add-ons seem to be included in most freeware and it's necessary to do a custom install and deactivate those options.

Is there any reason that you need to save files specifically in mp3 file format? Power Tracks will save in wma format, too. This should work for you since wma is the Windows format. Files saved as wma are around 1/10th the size of the wav file (just like mp3). I personally favour wma.

Regards,
Noel
