You can now officially upload and playback Ogg Vorbis (.ogg), Monkey's Audio (.ape), and Audio Interchange File Format (.aiff) files with your Kompoz projects. The first two formats are alternatives to the MP3 encoding algorithm, and the last is an uncompressed PCM format most commonly used on Applie and SGI systems.  All are supported by most/popular DAWs. The addition of these three new file formats brings the officially supported list to five: MP3, WAV, AIFF, WMA, OGG, and APE.

When uploading a file in one of the six formats, you should be able to playback the tracks online using the Kompoz Flash player. More specifically, if you upload a file in one of the five non-MP3 formats, the system will first encode the file (create an MP3 version) so that the Flash player can play it. This may take 2-3 minutes to process.

The encoder has been improved and should process files more quickly and more reliably. There are a couple of known issues with this. They are: 1) WAV files created by Reaper do not playback in the Flash player. 2) When uploading WAV or AIFF files, only 16-bit / 44.1kHz files can be encoded for playback in the Flash player. Please report any other issues on the Tech Support forum.

BONUS: You may have noticed that the track upload page also now allows for MIDI, and MP4 files. Uploading these file types is allowed, but the encoder does not yet support them. This means that users will not be able to listen to the files online (they'll have to download them to hear them).  So, it's a good idea NOT to upload featured mixdowns in these formats.
