This archive should contain the following files:

* WMA.FLT  	The Windows Media Audio filter
* WMAFILTER.TXT	This file

When redistributing this software, please maintain the original
archive contents.


Usage
-----
Simply extract the contents of this archive to the main Cool Edit
program folder. This will enable WMA read/write support.

Adobe Audition already features support for Windows Media Audio,
so this filter is intended for use with Cool Edit only.

This filter requires the Windows Media Format 9 series runtime
files. The simplest way of obtaining these is to install
Windows Media Player version 9 or later.

Please note that DRM protected content is not supported,
and that 24-bit decoding requires Windows XP or later.
