Why can't I convert my track to an MP3 or AAC/ MPEG file?

Due to licensing restrictions no MP3 or AAC encoder can be distributed with MusicBee. However you can download the following for personal use:

MP3

• download LAME available at www.rarewares.org/mp3-lame-bundle.php
• copy lame.exe to the Codec sub-folder where MusicBee is installed eg. \Program Files\MusicBee\Codec\
• activate in MusicBee - go to the Edit/ Preferences menu, choose File Converters and tick MP3

AAC/ MPEG

• download Nero AAC available at www.nero.com/eng/downloads-nerodigital-nero-aac-codec.php
• copy neroAacEnc.exe to the Codec sub-folder where MusicBee is installed eg. \Program Files\MusicBee\Codec\
• activate in MusicBee - go to the Edit/ Preferences menu, choose File Converters and tick AAC
