I recently purchased Ms Pinky, and only some waveforms of Mp3s show up in the Maxi Patch. The VST seems to pick up more of them. Is this a bug in Maxi Patch or know issue that only certain conversions will create a wave form?
I haven't messed around between the two as much to compare exact differences but the VST seems to create waveforms for all the mp3s I tried out.
I haven't found a recommended converter yet on the site or in the forums.
Thanks in advance.
What's the best converter to use?

This page on the site contains a list of recommended audio converters for use with Ms Pinky. Carefully study the slideshow...

And as far as MP3's that won't load properly and/or display waveform, Please make sure that none of them contain embedded artwork. If removing the embedded artwork doesn't work, try re-encoding using iTunes.

Further inspection of Maxi-Patch and testing I found "Batch Waveform Calculation". This did the trick for getting a waveform for most files.
But I've encountered another problem where some files won't play even if I do encode with iTunes. I get the following error in the Max Runtime Screen:
I messed around with this file in Audacity and found that exporting to MP3(converting with LAME) or WAV worked well. Batch Mp3 waveform worked for both as well. A bit of a pain to convert with audacity as you can only do one at a time. Looking into some batch converters.
Any suggestions welcome please
