I'll update the Microstudio 2.605 manual to say it won't process KMA files.
As to compression, most Hoster users run at 128Kb. The best thing is to try the same song at each compression ratio and determine the most compression (64Kb is the MOST compression, worst sound) you can enjoy listening to.
Then use Windows Explorer to see the file size differences. It may change your mind, depending on how much hard drive space you have. For The REcord, we would recommend 128Kb and buy a larger hard drive if you need one.
There are some audiophiles who run at 192Kb compression with multiple LARGE hard drives. Each to their own. As toolmakers, we try to meet everyone's needs.
