May 20, 2019 I asked in the forum and by email to PG Music Support where Band-in-a-Box looks for a MP3 codec.

I've never seen or received a response so once again:

Hello PG Music,

What storage location does Band-in-a-Box and RealBand look at and expect to find a MP3 codec to use during a song file export process?

MP3 codecs are fairly common files to find on the internet since the patent has expired so many users have, or can find a codec, for Band-in-a-Box or RealBand to use. However, I'm unable to find any guidance regarding where the codec should be stored.

Every now and then a user reports receiving an error message stating the MP3 codec is missing.
