It would be a nice thing though. -Buzz At 3:29 PM -0600 2/19/02, you wrote: >That's not what I was asking for though ...I was thinking Director could >record audio and compress to mp3. > >I'm aware that I can use masterapp to control external apps....just asking >specifically about the swa export xtra. > > >On Tue, 19 Feb 2002, Charlie Fiskeaux II wrote: > >> For windows, the best MP3 application I've found is DBPowerAmp. >>It integrates with Windows to offer options in your right-click >> menu that allow you to convert just about anything to MP3 or WAV >>formats.
