Hello everyone,
I have several unencrypted mp3's that I've purchased for personal use from Amazon/other retailers. I would like to use some of these mp3's as background music tracks on some of my video projects.
However, whenever I try to add these .mp3 files to my audio library, I often get the following error:
"Unable to open file [file name and location on disc]. File Format Mismatch"
What is causing this problem? Is there a workaround such as converting the .mp3 to another format/etc?
Thanks in advance,
N123

For a number of versions of VS, there has been difficulties in using some varieties of MP3, and most notably those produced using the LameMP3 codec. We normally suggest in those cases using third party audio editors, such as the freeware Audacity, to convert the MP3 to standard .wav format and use that in VS...
