Importing mp3
I´ve have some problems when I try to compress mp3-files in sorenson squeeze and AE, so I was going to try compress them i premiere, but I can´t even import them. Unknown filetype. Shoouldn´t it be possible to import a mp3 file? And why do I have problem compressing them? I´ve tried 50 different settings and I allways get the same laggy resault.

If you are simply trying to create an MP3, I’d recommend you use an audio app like Audition or any of the free/sharewarez out there.
If you are trying to import an audio file for editing, I’d recommend you decompress the file as PCM or Linear WAV. 44.1kHz, 16-bit, stereo for import – or whatever settings that match your desired output.
When you edit with a compressed format, as you encode, you are forcing the app to decompress, than compress again. So, either way, at some point the file will be decompressed. Decompressing before import makes encoding easier on your processor, it also allows for more accurate and smoother editing, and the file will import without any issues.

Ok, thanks. How do I decompress it? What application should I use?

Adobe Audition or QuickTime Pro. Audacity is a freeware that, I think, will convert and export to WAV.
