use still doesn't do .mp2.



Audacity could do it even ay back in 2004 from what I can find, but
surely most pro broadcasting outfits would have been using something
more like SoundForge or WaveLab back then, rather than CoolEdit or
Audacity ?

Hmmm, our fairly low cost systems were being used by some major
broadcasters and colleges. We actively installed and marketed them from
1995 until 2005.
During this period we moved from Windows 3.11 to W95, W98 and 2000.

When I first evaluated audio editors, Cool Edit came out by far the
best. The main rivals (can't remember the names -old age) were the one
written in machine code that didn't handle overflow of its maths, and
the Canadian one.

I don't think any of the editors in 1995 handled .mp2, but could well be
wrong.
