Post subject:  how to you get it to work?

Have had no trouble "installing" the program, but after a full hour of monkeying around with it, have yet to figure out how to get it to work? Let's say you want to take a music selection, say an MP3 file, and stereo-ize it. How do you do that? Have tried dragging the file into the program, have tried using "open with" the stereo tool, have tried the "loading" button. Nothing. The instructions seem to be for a different version, (3 vs 5) and in any event they don't say anything that I could find about how to load a music file into the program. Is this an "Emperor's New Clothes" situation. That it absolutely does nothing, but there is some kind of mass hypnosis in effect.


few days later...is there no one who might give me a hint on how to use it? The instructions tell you all the things it does... not how "how" to do them?

Sorry I missed your post before.

Oops, I never realized that this could be unclear :shock: .

The Stereo Tool stand alone version continuously processes input from your sound card, and plays it back. If you want to process an MP3 file, you'll need to use a plugin version of Stereo Tool - eg. the Winamp plugin version for programs such as Winamp, AIM, MediaMonkey etc., or the VST version for a VST host.

So,
- Install Winamp, AIM, MediaMonkey or another Winamp plugin capable player
- Install Stereo Tool's Winamp plugin into that program (Easiest for Winamp itself)
- Then in Winamp open your MP3, and under 'output plugins' configure the output (you can use an MP3 writing output plugin here).
