SF7 not able to open certain mp3 files? -Sound Forge - PC

Subject:SF7 not able to open certain mp3 files? Posted by: dexterv Date:9/27/2003 12:54:39 AM I've tried using SF7 to open some mp3 files for editng but when I opened them I get an empty editing screen in sf7. I know the file works because I can play it in winamp and I can open the files with other audio programs like wavelab. just to be sure, i reinstall my sf6 and sf6 opened the file with no problem, i seriously hope this problem gets fix in future updates. the mp3's property is: ------------------------ Size: 4630 bytes Header found at: 0 bytes Length: 0 seconds MPEG 1.0 layer 3 48kbit, 29 frames 44100Hz Mono CRCs: No Copyrighted: Yes Original: Yes Emphasis: None ----------

BTW, I see the same problem in both SF6 and SF7 (it's OK in SF5). Since MP3 is a shared plug-in, I'm using a more recent version of MP3 than was originally installed with SF6. Something must have gotten changed along the way.
