Why can't acid recognize MP3 files as loops? Its very
annoying having to batch converted TONS of .mp3s to wavs...
is there any way around this, or any way to make ACID
recognize mp3s?

thanks

Nope.

ACID is designed to work with Wave files that have been "acidized".
You can't "acidize" and MP3 file - the special riff chunks used by
ACID cannot be contained in an MP3 file. While it would be possible
to read an MP3 file into ACID, it would have no tempo or pitch
information, so none of the magic that ACID does would be possible.
