The Import Convert function is automatically called when choosing Open from the File Menu. If you attempt to open a non-Jasmine sound file that is supported by Jasmine's Import Convert, you will be asked whether or not you want to decompress the file. If you plan to edit (using cut, copy, paste etc.), we recommend you decompress.
You can adjust the level of the conversion with the following dialog or accept the default level of 0.0 dB (no change). Drag the Level Control slider to the desired amplitude. Both the tape display and the sound level (if de-compressing) are affected by the level control. Click OK.
A window that is simular to the Record window will then appear showing the progress of the conversion. As with Record, press the space bar or click the stop button to stop the conversion early. A [New] Edit File tape window will appear. If you choose to save the converted file, the source file name will be the default name.
Variable Bit Rate (VBR) is supported with QuickTime 4.1.2 and later. If an earlier version of QuickTime is installed, an error message will appear when opening a VBR MP3.
