No, you simply use GPO to get the sounds you want and then save as a

Many soundblaster cards have a similar function. It's called

I don't know what Finale you have. In my version (2007) you can
choose save special - save as audio file and than you can select
between wav and mp3, so you don't need a seperate converter. I just
tested it, saved a mp3, and it works fine. Playback without any problem.

For some reason, I followed that path exactly, but when I saved as

The Full GPO player can record to WAV, and then it can be easily

I don't have experience with the reduced Finale-GPO - much too limited.
