Hi Tom, If the original plays in Winamp, have you tried converting it to Wav using the Winamp Disk Writer output plugin. That works for me. You can then convert the wav to mp3 with Switch. Regards, Barry Chapman -Original Message- From: all-audio@groups.io [mailto:all-audio@groups.io]

I have not had that problem but it might have to do with the MP3 settings. The encoder used in the conversion may not be supported by WinAmp. The programs I mentioned as well as others are free. You might want to try a different program to see if that helps. Tony -Original Message-
