System Requirements:

MP3 playback and editing require the MP3 ACM codec, which is typically included with Windows, or the mpglib.dll file.

AAC playback and editing require the 32-bit libfaad2.dll.

To record MP3s, you need an ACM codec or a 32-bit Lame encoder DLL.

Demuxing MP4 files requires the ffmpeg executable.

—To make it work, copy and paste the DLLs or executable files into the mp3DirectCut folder.
