My MP3 Encoder stopped working
Last updated on 3/21/2016The MP3 Encoder included with SONAR and newer Cakewalk products is a 30-day trial version. To purchase the unlimited MP3 Encoder, you will first want to determine if you need the “MP3 Activator” or the “MP3 Encoder.”
If you have purchased a product with lifetime MP3 activation, like Pro Audio 9, you qualify for the MP3 Activator at no additional charge. Contact Cakewalk customer service if it is not already in your Cakewalk SSO account.
