Frequently Asked Questions - Monkey's Audio

Does Monkey's Audio compress mp3's?
No. MP3's are already a compressed format, and therefore it's not possible to compress them any further. Some people have created utilities that will compress an mp3 to like 1/5 of it's size without any quality loss. However, they're either a big scam or somebody figured out how to alter the laws of the universe, and the most exciting thing they could think to do was make your mp3's smaller. You decide which is more likely.
How can I add files to MAC?
There are a few ways to add files to MAC. The easiest way may be to simply use the "add file(s)" and "add folder" buttons in the program. Monkey's Audio is also fully drag-and-drop compliant, so you can always just drag the files or folders you want to process right into Monkey's Audio. While dragging-and-dropping, it may be easier if you choose "Always on Top" from the "View" menu so that MAC doesn't disappear when you're looking in Explorer. Finally, you can install explorer extensions (from the options menu) and then right click on files and pick "Add to Monkey's Audio" from inside explorer.
How about making Monkey's Audio an ACM codec?
Well, that'd be cool someday, but there are a lot of things I want to improve on Monkey's Audio before I get around to that. For now, if other software wants to support MAC, it'll have to use the SDK. Also, MAC's Winamp source code is freely available, so maybe other developers will make some headway in this department.
