    I've got a little home audio recording program called Reaper that I use to record some crap I make up. Works ok (other than some latency issues if anyone knows what that is), but when I convert a song to MP3 and play it through Windows Media Player, I get some kinda wacky compression like effect going on. Compression as in volume just randomly going up or down (like compression done badly).

    Thing is I can play the same MP3 through Musicmatch Jukebox and it sounds fine. Seems like something with Media Player, maybe a setting I need to change or something? Or maybe media player sucks? :lol: Musicmatch won't sync to my phone, so that's the reason I need Media Player to work right.

    Try converting a copy of the file to .wma and see if the compression is still there.

    P.s. : I understand that Reaper is the shizznizzle now?

    AND...it's created by the guy who created Winamp ;)

    Doesn't look like .wma is a conversion option that I see.

    I have an older version of Reaper. It's not as user freindly to me as my old *** Cakewalk program (that I don't have anymore). Also there's the latency issues, but it may be hardware related....I'm not very knowledgable on home recording or recording in general.

    Oh yeah, I can't seem to find the seal. Is there a bigger pic?

    Also someone mentioned my audio codec may suck, and maybe I should try Asio. I dl'd Asio, but I don't know how what to do with it :duh:
