Yes, Sonar will not open m4a files, I think the only way it did was if you had
the quicktime plugin installed. It should do fine with mp3 though.

Hi
I think you are right. When I checked the file type it was M4a. I have
converted it now to MP3 and when I get home from work I will try it on Sonor

What type of file are you trying to import? If it's an mp3 file, you don't need
to select all files, sonar should see it automatically. Please check the file's
extension to verify that it hasn't been changed, and check the format.
If you have access to a wave editor that can open the file, such as gold wave
or sound forge, try converting the file to a wave file first and then import
the wave file into sonar.

Hi Mark
Thanks for your quick response. It doesn't seem to be working for me. I have
the file on a pen-drive. I create a new project, just a two track audio
project. I go to import, choose audio, all files, find the file, press open
and it says "file format not supported."
What am I doing wrong?

Yes, I do that all the time.
Just inport the file.

Hi all
Looking for a bit of advice. I have an audio file, MP3. I am trying to import
it into Sonar. Can I do that. It is a recording of an interview I did on a
portable device which I am trying to edit on Sonar.
Richard
