When I try to open an MP3, an error message comes up: "The file C:\XXXX.mp3 cannot be opened until its plugin has been registered". The "Please Register" page comes up and says: "You must now register Sonic Foundry MP3 Plugin 2.0 to continue using it". I choose "Online" method, and a new page comes up that says:"An error has occurred during online registration", lists my Serial #, Comp ID, and leaves a blank box for myactivation code.The serial number listed is the same # that is listed in the "About Sound Forge". It is NOT the serial # that is the one listed in my Sony Creative Software account, that is now my Magix account. My Sound Forge 6.0 software works perfectly fine, even in 64-bit. It just won't open an MP3 until I get an activation code to register the plugin. I don't think I can be any more concise than that, sorry. Once again, my life will be fine if I can't get this to work,but I could use it, and if all it takes is a code, I'd sure appreciate that! Thanks again - TheProf
Sound Forge Mp3 Plugin 2.0
I have an original installation cd from a long time ago with the original serial number. I was able to activate SF-7 online without incident. I am saving sound files as .mp3 and after 15 or so, I now get the following when I try to open one of my saved .mp3s or try to save as .mp3:

Use Event Mode to edit nondestructively. Event-based editing allows you to divide a sound file into any number of independent sections (events) that can be arranged and rearranged on the timeline. Event Mode also allows you to convert regions to events, lock event markers, region markers, and envelope points to events, and automatically ripple successive events forward in time while editing.
Built in native audio processors provide powerful sound-shaping possibilities. Apply processes such as Auto Trim, Fade in/out, Invert/Flip, Mute, Reverse, Volume to a specific time selection within an audio file or to the entire file.
Convert sound files to different bit depths while applying dithering using the included iZotope MBIT+Dither Plug-in. Achieve optimum bit depth conversion with detailed control over parameters such as bit depth selection, dither mode, noise shaping, minimize peaks, and silence harmonics.
Convert the sample rate of an existing sound file accurately using the included iZotope 64-bit SRC (sample rate converter) plug-in. Achieve optimum sample rate conversion with detailed control over parameters such as sample rate selection, quality, steepness, filter length, cutoff scaling, alias suppression and prering.
The combination of a classic compressor and a volume maximizer make Wave Hammer the perfect audio mastering tool. Use the Compressor to add punch to your audio, or crank it up to create analog-like distortion. Use the Volume Maximizer to boost the overall level of a signal without clipping or distorting the sound or to limit the signal's peak amplitude.
Improve the quality of your audio or create unique sounds using the included processes and effects. To add more sound-shaping possibilities, SOUND FORGE Pro also supports 64-bit Audio Units (AU) and 64-bit VST 2.x plug-ins.
Reverses the phase of copied audio, either exaggerating or reducing phase cancellation if the existing audio contains similar content. (To understand phase cancellation, see How sound waves interact.)
Windows Media Audio Professional (WMA Pro) is an improved lossy codec closely related to WMA standards. It retains most of the same general coding features, but also features improved entropy coding and quantization strategies as well as more efficient stereo coding. Notably, many of the WMA standard's low bitrate features have been removed, as the core codec is designed for efficient coding at most bitrates. Its main competitors include AAC, HE-AAC, Vorbis, Dolby Digital, and DTS. It supports 16-bit and 24-bit sample bit depth, sampling rates up to 96 kHz, and up to eight discrete channels (7.1 channel surround).[22] WMA Pro also supports dynamic range compression, which reduces the volume difference between the loudest and quietest sounds in the audio track. According to Microsoft's Amir Majidimehr, WMA Pro could theoretically go beyond 7.1 surround sound and support "an unlimited number of channels"; however, Microsoft chose to limit its current capability to eight (7.1 discrete channels).[23]
Windows Media Audio Voice (WMA Voice) is a lossy audio codec that competes with Speex (used in Microsoft's own Xbox Live online service[47]), ACELP, and other codecs. Designed for low-bandwidth, voice playback applications,[48] it employs low-pass and high-pass filtering of sound outside the human speech frequency range to achieve higher compression efficiency than WMA. It can automatically detect sections of an audio track containing both voice and music and use the standard WMA compression algorithm instead.[24] WMA Voice supports up to 22.05 kHz for a single channel (mono) only.[48] Encoding is limited to constant bit rate (CBR) and up to 20 kbit/s. The first and only version of the codec is WMA 9 Voice.
Microsoft claims that audio encoded with WMA sounds better than MP3 at the same bit rate; Microsoft also claims that audio encoded with WMA at lower bit rates sound better than MP3 at higher bit rates.[50] Double blind listening tests with other lossy audio codecs have shown varying results, from failure to support Microsoft's claims about its superior quality to supremacy over other codecs. One independent test conducted in May 2004 at 128 kbit/s showed that WMA was roughly equivalent to LAME MP3; inferior to AAC and Vorbis; and superior to ATRAC3 (software version).[51]
Microsoft's claims of WMA sound quality have frequently drawn complaints. "Some audiophiles challenge Microsoft's claims regarding WMA's quality", according to a published article from EDN.[11] Another article from MP3 Developments wrote that Microsoft's claim about CD-quality audio at 64 kbit/s with WMA was "very far from the truth".[52] At the early stages of WMA's development, a representative from RealNetworks claimed that WMA was a "clear and futile effort by Microsoft to catch up with RealAudio 8".[53]
Microsoft has sometimes claimed that the sound quality of WMA at 64 kbit/s equals or exceeds that of MP3 at 128 kbit/s (both WMA and MP3 are considered near-transparent at 192 kbit/s by most listeners). In a 1999 study funded by Microsoft, National Software Testing Laboratories (NSTL) found that listeners preferred WMA at 64 kbit/s to MP3 at 128 kbit/s (as encoded by MusicMatch Jukebox).[54] 2ff7e9595c
